I have truly missed my friend of many years. Often throughout this last year, I have remembered our fishing trips, our apple pie snacks, and the years we worked together. He was truly a dear friend and a man, which I respected greatly and honored. I do miss him. Rest in peace my dear friend.

I worked for many years with Bill at American Bank and Trust. He was a smart, wonderful guy with a very dry sense of humor. I could always count on a comment that would take me a few seconds to figure out. He was a blessing to Dimondale. My sincere condolences to Judy, Lori, KC and his family. May God surround you with love and His peace.

Dear Judy and Lori, as you know, Bill and I worked together over a decade and have been friends over 36 years. Our time together was awesome. We did have some good fish stories. He is and always will be one of my most dear and sincere friends. Our bond of friendship is for eternity. I will truly miss him and never forget the time we had together.

I worked with Bill at AB&T and remember him as a very dedicated and knowledgeable manager who was always willing to help (I worked in the branches and Human Resources, and relied on Bills accounting expertise several times). To the Conarton family, I am very sorry for your loss. Bill was a good man, and it was a pleasure to know him. May your memories bring you comfort.

My Twin sister and myself were born into the Warren Family on December 14, 1970, very prematurely, without much chance of survival, we share that moment with a very close cousin, actually more like a sister. Lori, Bill Sr's daughter, shares her birthday with us and we've always been close ever since. Aunt Judy, Uncle Bill, cousins Lori and Billy, have always treated me and my sister like adopted brother and sister, as well as a second set of younger kids to Aunt Judy and Uncle Bill. I hold Dimondale very dear to my heart, but the one thing that stands out, besides Stuart and Tillie Warren, is the love and care and protection that Uncle Bill always showed and provided to myself and my twin sister Kelly. Uncle Bill, I'm going to turn 50yrs old this year, you've been by my side since day one, I cherish the fact that Lori shares a birthday with us, even though Kelly passed away almost 7yrs ago. I have 2 songs that I'm working on, Aunt Judy and Lori have the first, " Pink Elephant ". If you only knew what those days meant to me growing up from my childhood, the rest of your family does. But I will make sure those times, thoughts, and words will go to Heaven with you, they're going to be forever here with me on Earth. Uncle Bill, have peace in Heaven, for a "Pink Elephant" will be there to forever protect you from now on.
