Karen and Family,
Our deepest condolences on your loss. We hope that you and the entire family can find Peace in the coming weeks. Always remember the love that Bill showed you and the family. I am very happy Bill had you as a partner and had a wonderful family
Bill was well liked by everyone who knew him. Bill was a unique person who could always make you smile or laugh. If you needed something you could always count on him to be there. Bill was a very important part of my life growing up and even though, with passing time, I saw him less often I will sorely miss him.
We are so very sorry that due to circumstances beyond our control we could not be there Friday for the service and wake but do know that on Friday we will have a candle burning for Bill and we will have a Toast to honor my good friend.
All Our Love
Dorte & Douglas English
You are his best friend

Dear Karen,
We are so sorry for your loss. Even though we only had the blessing of knowing Bill a short time, we knew immediately that we were long lost kindred spirits with both of you. You and your family are in our hearts and prayer, and Bill will always be by your side. Coho Bend and all who make it their home now have an even stronger bond, and Bill will forever be the patron looking over us. All our love, Jerry, Marie and Justin Curtis
