Bill was such a good guy. You will be missed. I remember when you ran the electric in my house & you said I was doing it with you to learn about electric. I will always be grateful for that! Prayers for your family!!!!

Bill and I went to school together and later spent some time on the river together in our boats. I remember in High School, I was in a really bad accident and Bill road his bicycle to the hospital three times to visit me. That´s the kind of thoughtful person I remember Bill as. Bill was always a good friend and life of the party.
