William G. Houston

I ran with Bill back in High School. He was several years older and certainly one of the people I looked up to. Our lives took us different directions to which never crosses but once or twice. I cannot say enough about how good a person he and his family was to me back in the day. I sadly wish I would have looked him up.

I met Bill in 1999 as I moved to the Westside from the Eastside. We met at Paramount fitness and shared many of conversations about family and life. I am almost 20 years his junior and looked up to Bill as almost an older brother or even a father-like figure. I just found out this terrible news today. One of the best souls I have ever been blessed to have met in life. Words cannot define the void goodness will experience in this world with your absence. No doubt you are forever with God. I am forever grateful of your friendship and shared wisdom. Love you my friend and I will see you again; just not yet. May God hold your family - Psalms 23.

I am so very sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Mom and I will miss him. God bless

Vivat Jesu!

Ronnie. You know you along with all the Zieverink and Houston families are in our prayers at the 469. Bill will be missed by our entire family.

Bill was an outstanding person. So sorry to hear this terrible misfortune.
Prayers to all in the family!

The world has lost one of the truly great ones. Words cannot express our heartbreak for you and your family, Ronnie. Holding you close at this time.

We are so very sorry for this sad news. Keeping all in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.

I knew and dated Bill when we were in our 20's back in the 80's, in the New Jerusalem community. I will always remember his integrity, compassion, and humor. May you rest at peace and at home Bill, in the arms of our loving God.

You made the world a better place brother. Always a kind word in the morning with shift change, even when I would accidently wake you up in morning to get ready. You will be missed.

Rest in Peace Brother

Bill was so good to my husband, Robert Read, who was very isolated dues to years of cancer. He would come and visit when he was nearby. Both my late husband and I thought the world of him. Emilia

Bill. Cheryl and I will miss you. Knowing you was our pleasure. Rest easy.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Bill and I were good friends and fellow collectors. He was a great man. I will miss him dearly!!

I have very fond memories of Bill, from when he used to visit our house in Antioch. Thinking of his family at this very difficult time.

Words fail us at this time. So very sorry to hear about Bill. Please know we send our prayers and love.
