William Vincent Blake

Bill was a dear friend , He will be missed,

I worked for Bill at Overwraps two times. When I left the first time to move to Kansas he made a call to the owner of another printing company on my behalf. I had an offer of employment two days later. When I returned to Dallas he created a position in order to hire me. I still use the lessons I learned from Bill in my current career, and can’t put into words how much he meant to my wife Dianne and I. He was truly a special individual, and a leader in every aspect. I will cherish the memories of the times I spent with Bill at work, and for the last 20 years as spoke multiple times per year, and visited whenever I made it to Dallas. You will be missed by many. Our condolences to the Blake family, you are in our prayers

We enjoyed listening to all his stories of the days he lived in Michigan. He was a wonderful storyteller. Also going on old car tour in Deerborn, Michigan and Texas Tours. We will miss him dearly. Journey well good friend.

Thank you Bill for the cherished memories we made in our old Fords. The Bridges of Madison County, the Surf Ballroom, The Little Brown Church, the tour you gave of Depauw University, Dearborn Early Fords Tour, Roswell flash flood, Minnesota River Boat Tour, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the storm in Wichita, Kansas, and you coming to the rescue when my 1936 Ford Pickup broke an axle. Cherished memories...... R.I.P. My Friend.

He will be missed in the swimming community . Haven’t seen him in awhile due to cancellations of meets . Was unaware that he was ill . Rest In Peace.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Bill was the first neighbor to greet me as a new resident in Encore. He was a good neighbor and friend, I will miss seeing and talking with him on our daily walks. Rest In Peace.

We will miss Bill. He was so cheerful and friendly when we ran into him walking around Encore. Bonnie & I both enjoyed talking with him and will miss seeing his smiling face.
