Bill will certainly be missed by all his friends at LSU during football season. He was always there to greet every one and was always the "life of the party". He enjoyed life more then anyone I knew, and though he is gone he will still be there in SPIRIT!!! Rest in Peace dear friend! And one last Geaux Tigers for you!!!!

Dear Gwen and Family, The Rawle and Russo Families were always close to the Hinkels because of my Aunt Rose Hinkle Rawle. Willie was always one of my favorites as was his mother. We are so sorry for your loss. He was the most fun and colorful Captain of the Krewe of Grela. Peace and blessings to you all, Christine Russo Lorensen
