William Joseph Dillstrom

Dear Lenora and family
We are so sorry to hear of Bills passing
He worked with us for a number of years and we considered him a good friend. Even when he decided to retire from working here he would stop by and check and see how we were doing. We had a common love of the western lifestyle and art between us. I know how excited he got when he found another treasure to give to you and how he spoke of the love of his family. We all feel blessed for having had a chance to get to know him and will miss him.
In the words that Bill would appreciate and bring a smile. Happy Trails Bill we´ll see you on the other side.

Bill and I met in early 60´s. Riding our bikes all over town. Out all night. One day we came back way after dawn and we were just getting ready to go to sleep and my mom came downstairs she said "what are you kids doing out all nite. Robbing Banks??´ So from then on every time someone asks us what we were up to we always answered. Robbing Banks. We worked at Carrick´s Flowers driving their Buick Station Wagon to mostly Hospitals and Funeral Homes. We thought we were the hottest things going. Then the drag strip for the rest of high school. The golden Voice. He was the announcer. I was the flag man. Statute of limitations has passed on all those Christian County shenanigans. He was on every radio station in town. Every one wanted,´The Voice´ on there commercials. I joined the Marines out of high School and Bill started traveling all over sharing `The Voice´ with America. Last time I saw him we ran into each at the Route 66 car show. He introduced me to Lenora as "One of my oldest Friends. And the only one I never got into a fight with." We promised to get together and have a beer. Sadly that didn´t happen. Everyone out here has lost an amazing talent
Keep knocking off those Banks Hombre

Will miss your wonderful photos , sense of humor and bright personality . Condolence's to the family

I have known bill for over 20 years I have several good memories with him. He was a great guy and will be terribly missed. Love you Mr "bolo with a polo" now you can finally rest. Prayers to your whole family.
