Bill and I served in the US Navy together at Miramar Naval Air Station in San Diego California Fighter Squadron VF 126. He was a great friend and he always had my back, and was someone you could confide in and trust. We spent a lot of off duty time together and I always enjoyed the time we spent toghether. Bill served his country with Honor. We kept in touch through the years. He and his wife visited us in Missouri a few times, and I had the opportunity to visit him in Gibbon in 2018. Recently I had the opportunity to talk on the phone with him at the hospital the last week in May this year. Bill will be missed by all, and I wish to send my sincere condolences to his family.

Bill will be missed so much. He was a good friend, loved his spunk, and he never failed to remember us on our birthdays by sending cards. Now you and Nita can be riding that motorcycle and having a ton of fun. Rest easy Bill.
