Bill was such a wonderful man. I'm so very glad I got to visit with him and Eileen a few months ago. It was a great day. The photo gallery is a beautiful tribute to him. He was a great man, a great father, and he has a great family. My thoughts and love go out to all the Domas family.

Alyce and I are sorry to hear of Bill's passing. His charm, wit, and generosity will be missed. I remember his visits to Iowa on his motorcycle alone or meeting up with Eileen. He always had an interesting new gadget for us all to see! Thinking of Bill and all of the Domas family.

Father, I miss you. I enjoyed visiting in the last 6 months and playing dominos, cards, and Sorry. Those were times I wouldn't have missed. You were always so agreeable and funny. I love you.

Thinking of you in Iowa! We remember all the great picnics, fudge contest, out to eat adventures and fun we had with Uncle Bill in Iowa. He was so much fun and we always had to be ready and on our toes for him. God Bless!! The Engler Family
