Dear Carolyn, Malcom, and family of "Billy".

I just learned of your sudden and terrible loss and wanted to extend my sympathies. I didn't know Billy as an adult but as a young child with whom I walked to school and played when we we were only four, five and six years old. I can tell you then that he was a kind and gentle child and a pleasure to be with. From what I have read, those traits only increased as he grew into adulthood. My deepest condolences.

Dear Mrs. Eaton and Family,
I have just heard of Bills passing and quickly informed all members of my family. We met Bill about 15 years ago in regard to his planning services for our family, he was always such a pleasure to work with, he made us feel so comfortable with his kind gestures, wonderful humor and personality. We will all miss him dearly and are deeply saddened for your loss.
God Bless

Mrs. Eaton, I've been a friend of Bill's since 1982. As a CPA, I referred many clients to Bill over the years. Bill's honesty, friendliness, personality, sense of humor, and his overall "great guy" quality, made him one of the few attorneys I referred work to withhout hesitation over the past 25 years. I will truly miss him. He was a great person, I am sorry for your loss

Dear Sally, Bill was as nice a guy when I first met him in 1961 as he was 40 years later when he took on our estate work. He was a fine man and a good lawyer, and my family will miss his reassuring presence.
