Bill was a great person and will be missed by many. He was true and faithful friend to the Oasis Patrol and color guard and as recent as this past weekend in Oxford NC for the parade @ the Masonic Home for Children. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Bill was always in such a good mood and lifted others spirit with his smile and friendly words. We enjoyed knowing him and also enjoyed his company on the many different occasions that we were around him. Our sincere condolences to his family.

What a privledge and a honor to have known such a fine a man as Bill. H e always had a smile and a kind word for everyone he met and was always willing to serve the needs of others, especially the children served by Shriners Hospitals. Bill made the world a better place to live and everyone who has ever known him has suffered a great loss.
