Marie.......Lori and I were shocked to hear about Bill. You have our deepest condolences. I will always remember Bill as one of the most down to earth and honest individuals I have known. I still can't help but smile when I recall his sense of humor and wit. His presence will be missed by many. May God rest his soul, and give you peace and comfort now and always.

I was a friend in High School and beyond, I spent many nights in the garage helping Bill with his project '57 Chevy. Fun times as teenagers, so sorry to see his passing.
