Lucille and family,

We are so sorry to hear of your loss.

I have lots of fond memories of all of us at the family reunions in Auburn.
I enjoyed hearing William and my dad telling me stories of when they were young.

William was a very wonderful, kind and loving man.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

Love,
Emmett and Mari Hoover and family

So sorry to hear of the passing of a wonderful man. I remember all of the times that I was able to spend with him when you lived in Neb City. I am sorry that I can not attend the service but am in Wisconsin on business. My father sure is smiling meeting him in Heaven.
