Myself and my friend June Randall worked with Bill at Merchandise Warehouse Company - he always kept us laughing and he sure liked to tease Mrs Walsh! Wonderful memories. We are so sorry to hear of his passing and that we were unable to keep in touch - all of you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dad,
I love you. You will always be in my heart. You were always there for me. I will always love you. I will miss you more then you know. You always kept me laughing even when I know you did not know who I was. I know all you pain and suffering is gone now and you are with God. You are now with Rick and Vikki. You will always be looking out for me. I love you, your daughter Rose Mary.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss. Bill was a very good man to be around. I only got a chance to work with him for a short while. I will always know him as Pa Pa. I have not had that much of an opportunity to stay in touch but Bill is some one I will never forget. Bill had a big hand in bringing my wife and I together. I love you Bill and you will be missed greatly.
