William Howard Dirks

I just heard the sad news about Bill. He was such a great man. I met Bill in 1995 at Direct Alliance where we worked together for about 5 years- he gave me the best advice anyone could have given me during a tough time of my life and I will appreciate that and him forever. To make everyone smile during this sad time here is a short story to share: (imagine Bill's voice) It was 1995 at the time and I was struggling through college- he challenged me to graduate school before the new year of 2000. I just did it, 12/17/99. Thank you Bill for be-friending me. I'm sorry to your family. You will be missed by all. Thank you Bill.

Tish, Betty and Family - Julie and I were shocked, and deeply saddened to hear of Bills death. Memories of our youth will always be with me of the good times we had. Our condolences and sympathy are with you.

Tish & Family, I pray that God is with you during this time! Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy. If I can help in any way, I am glad to!

Dear Tish,
I'm so saddened for your sudden loss of Bill. I can find no words to express my sympathy. I'll keep you in my prayers.
Warm regards, Anne & Bill McCollom

Bill will be sadly missed by all. A total gentleman, always willing to help others. My condolances to his family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My heart breaks with your loss. I cherish the many fond childhood memories from sleep overs, as Nikki and I would giggle after being reprimanded for being loud. I will never forget the kindness he always showed to me and my family.
