Joanie...Carol and I are sorry for your loss of Bill. I enjoyed many rounds of golf with Bill and appreciated his perspective when working on legislative issues. He talked often of you and of course of all of his family. Certainly a modern gentleman with professional leadership skills. We will miss Bill. Roger and Carol Seiber

My condolences to the Deal Family. I worked under Bill for many years in the State Fire Marshal's Office. Bill took a chance and appointed me as the 5th State Fire Marshal before his retirement. I will never forget the opportunity that Bill gave me. Rest easy my friend!

We were crushed to lose our beloved friend, Bill who shared his and Joanie's time with us in Desert Crest Country Club, California. Our lives 'Sparkled' when Joan and Bill arrived from Idaho each fall. Boy, did we have some good laughs, good meals out, and all 'round sweet times when together. There is a big hole in this community as we now are reduced to 'Memories' of Bill. Much Love to you, Joan from us. Hope you can come down this way again!

What a loss. Bill was exactly what is best in a public servant: kind and considerate, good-humored, smart and knowledgeable, and always focused on what was best for his fellow citizens. He was a man who loved his family and friends. His impact will be felt for a long time.

Bill was a very active and continuous supporter of all of Idaho and especially Nampa. His dedication to family, his business clients and all Idahoans through his service in the State Legislature is an example for all.

I was so sad to see this morning´s notice about Bill. I have had just a flood of memories regarding Bill and you, Joan. They are such good memories. I am very sorry that we did not get in touch this past summer. I thought about it often but then Darrel developed serious medical issues.
Bill was always friendly and always a gentleman.
He served his community and his state well. He will be missed.
We are in Arizona and unable to be there for the service but our thoughts will be with you, Joan and your family.
