To Bills Family and Friends,

First I'd like to apologize for missing Bill's services. But most of all I'd like to express my condolences and share my fond appreciation for Bill! We always had a great time talking together…whether about real estate, opening up hardware stores, Pigtails, or horse racing (which I knew nothing about)…we always had fun. Anytime I saw Bill's convertible I knew I was going to have a great time talking with him. He was a very intelligent and genuine guy…and he will be missed. Peace to your families… and thank you Bill for the many years of great conversation! And Bill… could you LMK those winning lottery numbers now? :)

Dear Bill, Deb, and Melissa,
Your dad loved God's gifts....the moon, the sunset, the water. He loved telling stories, listening to others, and helping anyone he could. I have so many wonderful memories of growing up with him. I will miss him but he is in my heart and hopefully I can be a better person because of that.
