My deepest condolences to the Dancy family. As like many, i met Mr. Dancy while being a school bus driver. I got to know him through our many conversation about life, our experiences and families. We became much more than acquaintances but friends that shared our deepest thoughts on a variety of subjects. He to me was like an older brother. I never had, but saw in him. I'll always remember him for everything we shared doing those times. I will truely miss you. My Brother, William Dancy.

To the Dancy family. I’m very sorry for your loss. Mr. D, as I always called him was a good friend and a kind gentle giant. I met him when I went to work as a bus attendant for Stafford Co. schools and I was assigned to his bus.. I enjoyed working with him and I enjoyed our work conversations. I’m shocked to hear of his passing but I’m glad I ran into him and his lovely wife back in August at the WaWa Little did I know that, that was our last goodbye..Rest in heaven now Mr.D, in eternal peace with our God.. you will be missed It was an honor knowing you.
Sending up prayers for your family.
Your friend

Deepest condolences to my family in this hour. Uncle William was polite and funny and gave me great advice when I was in his presence. We discussed the military and career goals on those occasions. He called me his Air Force girl! He will be missed by his family incredibly. Love your great niece - belbel
