Our sympathy to Bill's family & friends. I had the rewarding opportunity to serve on the WRMCA board with Bill for several years. It was fun to get to know him at board/committee meetings, & to learn from him. He was a leader!

I am sad to say that I never got to meet Bill in person. However, in knowing some of his family members, and concrete industry colleagues who speak so highly of him, I am honored to have known that he set such a good example in our community. My thoughts are with the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family today and in the future. I am sorry that I cannot attend. I knew Bill for several years and had many good and interesting dealings with him during that time. He is with God and looking at us from there.

It was my pleasure to work with Bill for several years on his advertising for Tews Company. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a great raconteur. I'll never forget some of the stories he told me about hunting polar bear in Alaska. Bill was an original.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Bill through Bob Tews and will never forget the great times we enjoyed fishing at Wildcat Lodge. Most people reading this will not know who I am but I consider it a privilege to have know Bill. The time spent with you was not great, but the memories are. God Bless.

I'll miss Uncle Bill's laugh. He was always a lot of fun. God Bless him for trying so hard to make me a better "F boat sailor". I do know that we have a great new Guardian Angel.
Love always, Leanne
