My heart is so broken to hear of the death of my dear cousin. I am so glad that we had the chance to visit in Arizona last year, and spoke on the phone a few times after that...There are times I wish I was home and this is one of them. My heart, prayers and thoughts are with you, beautiful Pantera family. I love and miss you all. <3

I will forever hold wonderful memories of my cousin Billy. He had a great heart for family, friends, and animals. He set a great example for all of us to follow the way he valued the simple things in life. We will miss you cousin Bill but are forever grateful for the time we had you on this earth. You made us all better and made us pause to realize what is most important in life-it's relationships we share with each other!!!

I am saddened to hear the news of Bill's passing. I met him through my husband Jim and they shared many a story. They created a few more her in AZ. Even though we lived close our lives took us is in different directions. I last saw Bill at Jim's memorial s service in January 2013. Thanks for being there for Jim, Bill. Now Jim is there for you. God bless

Bill's candle burns bright! He leaves the world a better place by his concern for the environment and by taking care of his feline friends, several of whom I met. Sincere sympathies to his family and friends.
