Bill was such a warm and wonderful loving person. He was a good companion and lover for my Mom. I loved him as if he were my Dad. He loved re-enacting Gunsmoke lol and loved my Elvis Tribute Artist gig. He will truly be missed. Forever in our hearts. Love you Mr. Bill. Rest easy.
Love Anthony & Brandi
