Bill was a friend to all. His calm demeanor, kind smile, willingness to help everyone with just about anything was a role model for all. When you look up the word "thoughtful" in the dictionary, Bill's picture is next to it. He was a blessing to our family as well as the church family. My deepest sympathy to Carolyn and all the Crabbe and Noteboom families.
