William Merritt Norvell

We knew one another all of our lives, going back to 1940. Snooks was best man at our wedding in 1970. We were brothers from other mothers! I will miss him dearly.

Snooks and I have been close friends since I was 5 months old. Our mothers were close and we were like brothers. We were in a vocal group, the "Los Cabelleros" in high school. We were roommates in our first year at SIU, and he was the best man at our wedding in 1970. We always stayed in touch although I was living in California. I will sorely miss him. Rest in peace my bother!

Bill and I we´re close friends at SIU, Carbondale, during his freshman and my sophomore year there. I shall always remember him as a talented, high spirited, sassy, and fun loving young man. Whenever our paths crossed over the years, he was still the same Bill; always true to himself.

I was very saddened to hear of his passing, and I pray that you, his family and loved ones, may find solace in the love and precious memories which you shared during his 82 year sojourn with us.

May he Rest in Peace in the cradle of God´s loving arms.
