I met Bill at the Home Depot about 5 or 6 years ago. I was a Cashier and whenever he got there, he always found the time to come by to say hello whether I was working at the selfcheck or outside in garden. He knew I was a cap person, so whenever he had extra paint caps, he'd bring me one. The last one he gave me was a pink cap with Glidden on it. I had it about 2 weeks and when I saw him, he asked when was I gonna wear it. I told him I would have it on the next time I saw him...but I never saw him again. Mr. Bill was a very nice person and I miss him very much. Continued Prayers for the Family of Mr. Bill.

Bill was a dedicated and faithful servant of the Lord and His church. His positive attitude and devotion to serve where needed was a true reflection of his faith. On behalf of myself and other ushers at Crossroads we extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family and loved ones. It was an honor and privilege to have known and served with Bill.

I met Bill about 5 yrs ago at the Home Depot. Bill was very passionate and dedicated in his partnership he held with the Home Depot. I admired his uplifting personality, and continued support throughout the years. I'm truly blessed to have known someone like Bill. I will miss him very much.

I work with Behr Paint and got to know Bill this last year since he was with PPG. Although we were competitors in the store, Bill was just and all around great guy and we had many laughs and conversations about life in general. He will be missed
