Although we cannot attend his service, we wanted all of you to know how much Bill impacted our lives. We have not spent as much time around him as we used to "in the old days", but we never saw him that he did not make us smile, laugh and be glad we were alive. Hopefully you all remember him with good thoughts like we do. We remember him mostly as a young ornery Bill that was always so much fun to be around. We are so thankful that he started the Rebels. All of my children were part of it at some time in their lives and I believe that it was very instrumental in helping Johnstown to build their sports programs. Please know that sincerely our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of great loss. We are all better for having known him. If there is anything we can do, please do not hesitate to call.
