Bill was a great and respected friend of mine. We first met at SLU in our agriculture classes. His story telling and quick wit always made for a great laugh. We kept in touch over the years and were always happy to get to catch up between long times of not seeing each other. I will miss his stories and broad smile. Yet, it´s comforting to know he´s enjoying long talks with our Savior.
Janice, sorry for the loss of your best friend. You and your boys will be in my prayers.

Bill and I have been friends since 8th grade. He was my best man when I married my wife of 47 years. A great friend. A great man. I'm a better man having known Bill. Godspeed my friend.

My heart goes out to my friend Janice and their family. Bill was one of a kind and I hold dear many great memories and time spent with he and Janice. Anyone who knew Bill knows how much he loved his wife and family. Bill was always ready with a good story and I am sure he is entertaining his family and friends in heaven! Bill will be missed for sure. I am glad he is free of his earthly health struggles and am sure he was welcomed happily into God's loving arms. Hugs to Janice and their boys.
