Five years have passed. I still talk about you, I still miss you as if you were just here yesterday. Life just isn´t the same without you here. I will miss you every day until we are together again. I love you endlessly.

Four years have passed and I am still not used to not having you here. I miss you every single day. You were The Man, The Myth, The Legend! There will forever be a part of me that is missing and that is you. The family just isn't comp,ete without you. It's time for the annual campout but without you I canh't go. I will visit the lake most days but come back home to be surrounded by your spirit every evening. I miss you so very much. Love you.

Two long years have passed since we lost Bill. His absence is felt every single day. There will never be another like him. No man can fill his shoes. Now he and Justin are our guardian angels watching over us in everything we do. You family lives and missed you. My arms are empty without you. I will live you always and forever.

Bill was our friend and the best neighbor. He was always willing to help others. We enjoyed going to dinners together with him and his beautiful wife Ginger along with our friends Wayne and Donna. We truly miss seeing him “across the street”. May you Rest In Peace.
Love, Marie

So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I remember him fondly from classes at Oak Grove High School. My thoughts are with Ginger (another classmate) and the family.

Bill was the best thing that ever happened to me. He was my husband, my best friend, the father of our children, Kevin, Kassi & Justin and grandfather of our grandchildren, Cloe, Alyssa, Kenzie, Dominic, Jackson and Nathan. Bill had a habit of fitting in with anyone and everyone he came in contact with. He was a teacher and mentor to many over the years. He left behind a huge gap that will never be filled. A patch will cover the hole in our hearts but we will never be the same without him. To the Moon and Back Bill, until we are together again. I love you.
