My Uncle Bill was a first class guy and an all around excellent human being. He was very much like a Father to me when Kathy and I were growing up. He truly was part of the greatest generation, when people had class, integrety and self respect. There's very few people like him left, if you know one, cherish them. Godspeed Uncle Bill

I will never forget how excited we were everytime we were traveling to visit ky. Granddad was always in the drive way waiting for our arrival with open arms. The best part was always the eggs in a nest and makers mark with hot cocoa :) to this day he is still one of the best men I've ever known & I feel privledged to have been able to call him granddad. Our thoughts and prayers go out to a family that has always been there for us - we love you guys!

Bill was A professional source of strength, stability and wisdom for me. Always available to help and advise. I learned much through 35 years as a client, both for my business and as a person. I will truly miss him, but will keep the wisdom and ideals he presented by conversation and by simply being the person he was.
