Dear Jane and the Mark's Family--
As two of the many friends Bill and Jane have in Dallas, we are shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of our dear friend. Bill was a one of a kind guy! Always respectful, loving, caring and concerned!! Always put others first and lived his life how we all should. Our dear friend Jane, we are so sorry for you and can not imagine what you are going through. You were the star in Bill's eyes. When we mentioned your name, you could see the love he had for you. All of us in Dallas will miss him so much! With Deepest Sympathy

Jane, like everyone else, Carol and I were shocked and saddened to hear of Bill's passing. He always had a smile on his face. You and Bill both were so generous to Judy when Dick passed back in 2013. And Bill and you have always extended neighborly good deeds to help Judy. We pray that God will aid and comfort you as you navigate this new chapter in your life without dear Bill.

Jane, I can not believe this has happened! Bill was such a generous man and it is amazing all the organizations he belonged to and did service for. He was always great at supporting Ritter in anyway he could, even after you retired. I loved when he spoke to the students at Career Day! He will be greatly missed!
