May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I worked with Bill at Great Western Drilling and admired his work ethics and love of music.

Bill did accounting work for the company I worked at. His work was first rate and he took great care of us. He loved the Lord, Martha and his children. We would talk on the phone after he retired and stayed up to date which I enjoyed.
In sorrow,
