To the Dossett Family:
Please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss. Bill was a good friend to my father, and my family really appreciated all that he did for us when our parents passed. He is probably deer hunting with Bob right now.
God Bless, Karen (Bayer) Waters

To the Dossett family,
I am sorry for your loss. Bill was a good neighbor and friend to our family, whether playing cards with my parents, giving a ride to the grocery in his four wheel drive when we were snowed in, or handcrafting a gift for my parents when they retired. I know you miss him. He has left a good family to carry on his memory.

Aunt Betty & family,
Take comfort in knowing that Uncle Billy is now in heaven reunited with his dad and brothers. They are probably already deer hunting. With our sincere sympathy and prayers to all of you.

Bill was one of the reasons we had such a fun neighborhood. One never knew when entering your garage if we would find deer hanging or his impressive woodworking projects, but he was always fun to be around. My deepest sympathy.
