I have known Bill for over fifty years. He has been a friend, neighbor and business associate for a lot of those years. I have worked, vacationed and coached little league baseball with him and his family. Bill was a wonderful human being! He was always friendly, polite, trustworthy and energetic. My sincere condolences to the Relf family during this time of sorrow. I will miss seeing Bill at UJs and having a good morning chat.
Rest In Peace Bill!

I have known the family for about 50 years, starting with the Stockton Water Ski Clun. William was such a social person, he never knew a stranger. He has now joined his wife Patsy in heaven.
