We lost too many people we loved from high school and college ....our Yorktown friends. Clark Funeral Home and your Dad made those passings a bit more comfortable for us. A caring family that cares about community...you should be proud he was wonderful to us when we needed comfort the most.

He will be missed by all who knew him.

I was fortunate to meet him on several occasions. A lovely Gentleman who will be missed.
I didn't know he was from Corinth or that he worked for the Densmores. The interesting intersections of life.

Dear Sandy, I felt such sadness when I read Bill's obit in the newspaper. He was a very friendly guy and loved by so many. He will be missed in your family as well as the larger community family. The high numbers of Covid in Warren County prevented me from coming today to personally give you a hug and a smile. Rest in peace Bill.

Bill was my first boss in the funeral business and I never forgot the many things he taught me, including that the initial G in his name stood for God. As years passed, we became more like friends than just employer and employee. I will always remember the good times and many laughs we had together. My heart goes out to his family and I know we will all miss him dearly.
