I am so sorry that I did not learn of Bill's passing until today. Bill was a friend, a mentor and a role model. All the good that he did will continue on for generations. May God bless you all.

Dear Betty and family,
Jim and I were with you in spirit at Bob's service on Thursday. I have fond memories of our time together at Christian, and we both remember your visit to Reno and the meal we shared. We will continue to keep you in our prayers and love in the days ahead.

Dear Betty, Sarah and Johnny and families,
I do not have your addresses but I want you to know how very sorry I am for your loss. Bill contributed so much of himself not only to his family but to the communities where he lived and worked. The Crouch family was a great influence on those of us who lived in Liberty and of course, The Little Shoal 4-H club in the 1950's.
With my sympathy,
