Leanne and family,
Sorry to hear about Bill. He made an impact on the lives of everyone he touched - cello (my son plays now) - best piano tuning ever - his faith and knowledge of God's word - and friend. He will be missed, but is in a better place for sure.

Leanna, Victoria and Zack:
I am truly sorry Bill was taken from us too soon, but am so glad I got to see him 2 weeks before in Methodist. He was always happy and smiling, even in such a good mood in the hospital. I hope to see you all Saturday.
Again, so sorry for the loss of Bill.
Your godmother (and Ruth's cousin)

Gagnon Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences. Bill was our piano tuner since 1992. We liked and respected him so much. He was always so cheerful and professional. We know that mere words are not enough at a time like this, but we wanted you all to know that he will be missed.
Blessings,

Leanne and family: I am so sorry for your loss, Bill was so loved by many. I will miss his laugh, and his smile. Our daughters used to play in the same softball league--we saw him at the park every summer. May you find comfort that Bill is in a better place, God will certainly take tender care of him.

At this time it is so hard to put into words how one feels about losing a friend. Maybe it is better to think back to happier times. Bill is not in pain any more and maybe we will meet again. My best to his family and all who new him. Peace.

I went to school with Bill in Richfield. I remember him playing the cello in Elementary School at Elliot School. He was a great player. He will be missed.

Leanne and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Bill was our piano tuner and we were shocked to hear the news. We never would have imagined that last December when we saw him (and scheduled our next appt for June 2012) that we weren't going to see him (physically) again.
God speed, Bill.

Oh my goodness, what a shock to hear about Bill. I am sooo sorry and my heart hurts for all of you. I know how much you loved him. I just said the other day, "I need to call Bill and have him come out and tune our piano". May God hold you all in the palm of His almighty hand. With sincere sympathy.
