So sorry for your loss Beth and Family. Bill was definitely one of a kind, quick witted with a sense of humor, great guy. We always called him Popcorn, but I never knew why, so ran into him at the Legion and ask him, he just smiled and said he didn't know, I think he may have.
May God Bless and be with you all during this difficult time !!!

I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of our trips to Aruba and Pigeon Forge. Bill was a good brother to Jack. They were very close. Bill visited him faithfully through Jack's many hospital stays. They were even stationed together some of their time while they were serving in the Navy. I can picture them together now talking sports. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

It is hard to lose a loved one but remember the joy and good times. The sorrow will never go away completely but will ease with time. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time of your grief. God Bless
