To the family of Bill, my heart goes out to you all! Knowing Bill as I grew up with Kelley was always such a joy. He was a kind man and always made you feel good. (Even when we did not make his days easy he still was so kind). And as I say to you "It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again." I sit and remember the days I shared with Bill, and the many mornings he would fix our breakfast. There has never been anyone who could make scrambled eggs like he did they were the best! I find myself blessed to have known such a loving and kind man. This comes to say that many thoughts, sincere as they can be, are going out to each of you today in deepest sympathy.
Love, Tammie

Janet, Please accept our sincere condolances. We are in Florida and heard about Bill from our daughter.
Memories flood back to better days when we played softball winning championships, union picnics, Xmas parties and all the things that made life good. I remember that Bill took me under his wing at work and made sure I preformed my job correctly. You and Bill have come to mind many times in our life and we will miss Bill. Now may God take you and your family under his wing and heal you quickly.
With deepest regrets.

Papa, even though we didn't get to spend as much time together as I would've wanted to I learned just how good a guy you were through the way you raised my mother, and for that I will always be grateful. Now I hope you enjoy the reward you've earned for the rest of time.

Dad,

I cannot believe you are gone, I didn't know that the last time I saw you was the last chance I would have to say goodbye. I keep trying to remember what we talked about, I would give anything to get that moment back in time, I could let you know that you were everything to me, you were the best dad in the world and I love you so much. If I had known you were not ever coming home again, I would have stayed a little longer, held your hand a little tighter and told you how much you meant to me. I know that you have entered the gates of Heaven, where you can hear the words to Amazing Grace, see for miles, and run without growing weary, for that I am thankful, because no one deserves it more then you. I miss you so much and hope you know that your little girl felt like the luckiest person in the world, all because of you.

The greatest man I have ever known, I can't put into words just how very much I miss you. I know that you are being taken care of now and your making everyone in heaven laugh but I'm still so very heartbroken. I never got to tell you that you saved me, that you were my hero. You were the best papaw in the world and this world will never be the same without your smiling face. I pray that I can be half the person that you were. Thank you for everything that you have ever done for me. I love you with all my heart and I miss you so much it hurts. I will see you again someday, so meet me at the gates.

Love Always,

Jessica (your Sugar)

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. I knew Billy from Corpus Christi where I was in the same class as Gary. You may not see friends for many years but you do not forget them.
