I just heard of his passing and thus am sending my deepest condolences to Jo and all those who loved Bill. I only knew Bill for a few years. He was a good man with a wry sense of humor. He taught me to shoot a 357 Long Colt revolver and to both our surprise(s), we discovered that I had an eagle eye. He was so impressed he said quite seriously that I could join any SWAT team nationwide. Quite a compliment from a man who was an avid shootist and hunter. I know he is in Heaven with GOD, Lord Jesus, GOD's angels & his beloved family members and friends who passed before and after his own transition. I'm sure I will see him one day up there. God bless ya Bill. Thanks for our friendship. Sincerely Christopher

Jo Ann Bill was a wonderful guy and I remember when the two of you met. We all thought the world of him in Denver and his kindness helped my family out in a very difficult situation while transporting my sister in laws remains. Sending prayers to you and your family as you journey through this most difficult transition.
