Dear family of Bill. I didn't know until a few minutes ago about your Dad. Bill was a fine person and know he will be missed by all.

I am so happy to have had the pleasure to get to know Bill and his family. Bill was a good man. He was a caring man. I saw that at BHCC in the assisted living unit. I pray that our wonderful "Lord" will keep all of the family in the palms of his healing hands. I pray that he will guide them. My grandmother always said that the mind and heart are the most beautiful cameras in the world. With the mind and the heart, Bill will always remain. He will always be here with his family and friends. He will be at your sides, watching and caring. And just being Bill. God Bless all of you.
