LuAnn, Steve & kids,

Prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at the loss of your father.

It's a difficult time but just keep the memories alive and remember that he is in a better place, no pain and is with your Mother.

God Bless.

I remember your Dad the best from when I was a teenager/young adult, and our Mothers were good friends. He was always kind to me, and emphasized with the problems I had in life back then. As I am now 57 years old, and my memories are clear, it's obvious your Dad made a large and lasting impression on me during a time in my life when little did. My sincere sympathies go out to Bill's entire family at this time. You are held in heart, and mind, and prayers ... marian
