Bill was a great guy and a truly great friend. I feel very fortunate to have known such a wonderful, easy-going individual. I will always look back fondly of all the Drag, NASCAR and motorcycle races we attended, and all of the great stories he shared.

My wife, Terry, my mother-in-law, Janice, and myself love you and will all miss you very much.

Bill, you crossed the finish line, do a victory lap for me.

We will truly miss Billy Boy Hemminger. He was a great friend to my whole family and we missed having him close by when he moved away. He always had GREAT stories to tell and was a very entertaining friend. He was such a laid back guy and happy to do anything you invited him to do. God Bless you Billy Boy! You always said you were going the other direction but I KNOW that you are at home with God! You were too good a guy!
Love, Sharon Humphrey

Bill, so sorry you had to leave this world and your loved ones behind. May your family know that you will always be there in the good memories of years gone by and in their hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Mike and Chris, for you to deal with the loss of your father. But at least he is not suffering and is finally happy and having a good time with all his buddies riding Harlies together again.

Bill, although we never had the chance to meet, I know that you were loved and that you were very special to two people that are loved by my family. I hope that on this new journey that you are taking... you find that harley all fired up and ready to go. Enjoy the ride. Rest in peace.

Uncle Bill, You were and always will be my favorite uncle. I'll remember the great times we had when you used to take me to Big Bear Lake when I was a child & when you rented a home in the summer there for a couple of weeks. I remember when Mike taught me to fish and Heidi taught me to play Blackjack, all the while you sat back smiling smoking a stogie. I'll miss those times when I used to sit around with you and Saw and listen to the stories. I'll never forget the time I got to spend with you in 2001 in Warner Springs and the dinner we went out to. Keep ridin' and tell all to KMBBA...Love, Greg-Alpine,AZ
