Though I haven't seen him in a couple months, I remember hanging out with Bill in his garage while he and friends put on musical performances while grilling out and playing pool. He was a great father and Noah will never forget, my heart goes out to Noah and Chrissy as well as the rest of his family. He will be remembered in our hearts always and one day we will see him again when it is our time to walk with God.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Bill loved his family & Chrissy very much but above all I saw the love he had for his son. He will be missed by many, but he knew he was loved by many also.
