There is no greater love than the love Bill showed as he cheered, admired, followed and supported his children and grandchildren. Every day with his family was the best day of his life.

He will be missed by many and remembered fondly and loved forever.

I'm really going to miss playing golf with my friend Bill. The Gaston Seniors Golf Association will miss your leadership. Love you brother in Christ.

Mrs. Kathleen Guy and the Guy Family: So sorry to hear of Bill's passing but I know that Bill's in a better place and his pain is over. It sure was a pleasure to have known Bill and was ammazed at his outlook and upbeat attitude about the cancer and treatment. I guess that I was the last one to play golf with Bill as we played on July 5th. at the Beach. Sure had a good time with Bill that day and enjoyed his company. I will not be able to attend any of the services for Bill but want to let you know that the Guy Family will be in my prayers.
God Bless, Dan McCurry
