Mr. Bill was a fine man. I will miss seeing Mr. Bill riding his mower cutting his grass this summer.He would always throw his hand up as I would pass by. There is not many men left in this world like Mr. Bill. To the family let me say,Iam greatly sorry for your lost. We have this blessed assurance in Christ we will meet Mr. Bill again.

"Mr. Bill" will always live forever in my heart. I will miss our 'yard' talks when I would be going/coming from work. Sitting at his kitchen table and having some of the best conversations of 'back in the day.' Mr. Bill always took care of his family, he loved them very much. Men like Mr. Bill are very rare. To the family, may God cover you in His love, mercy and compassion. Your hope is in the day when you will be in the presence of God and Mr. Bill. My prayers are with you all. Kevin, you are very special, we love you.
