Dear Gail and Family, It was my honor to have known Bill and worked with him at WMRHS. He always freely gave of himself, his wisdom and talents to the thousands who have known him as a friend, mentor, teacher, adviser, family member, or educator. The thousands of lives he touched in a positive way will go on to touch thousands of others. A teachers influence never ends. A fond farewell to Bill with our salutes, warm embraces, love, and sincere THANKS for God's missions well accomplished.

Gail, It's been a long time since we last got together, but each time Bill and I exchanged emails it brought back fond memories. I'm sorry I don't travel well anymore so I'll sadly miss seeing you.

Sir,
I did not know you personally, however I would very much like to "Thank You" for your dedicated and honorable Military Service to OUR country.
As a member of the "GREATEST GENERATION" and as a "WORLD WAR II VETERAN", you are my HERO.
At a later date we will meet in that "SPECIAL PLACE" which GOD reserves for all of those who have worn their country's Military Uniform.
May ALL of GOD'S blessings fall upon your dear family!

I have many fond memories of my Uncle Bill, but I will always remember his kindness, patience and love and that he always took the time to teach me about things I was curious about in my life.
