Judge and Mrs. Killian and Frances,
I knew Bill through our growing up together in the First Presbyterian Church in Brunswick. I was so very sorry to hear of his passing. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time.

Frances,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult and heartbreaking time. Bill was a very dear friend of mine, and I often reflect on the many hours we spent together laughing and sharing thoughts and feelings. I have missed that friendship since moving to Florida, and I will forever miss him. I sincerely send my regards to you and the entire family.

The world has lost a wonderful friend, but most of all Frances has lost a best friend. Bill might have been a man of few words if you didn't know him, but would help anyone in need no matter what the cost. We didn't see each other a lot but we knew if help was needed, a phone call is all it would take. Bill has been so blessed to have Frances in his life. I'll never forget our many years in Juvenile Court - his sense of humor and jokes on me will never be forgotten. Prayers to to the Killian family and to Frances for being so brave -
God Bless You.
Farewell my friend,
Brenda Pittman

Bill had more friends than most people and he was well loved. I loved him and I will miss his quick, dry wit and his twinkling eyes. In the years to come Bill will not be forgotten. I lift up his family as I hold them in my heart.

Judge and Mrs. killian and Frances we are so sorry for your loss. Our families have known each other a long time and all of our family was terribly saddened when we heard the news. I considered Bill a good friend for many years. (more than I can remember) We would often see each other at lunch and talk.
May God give you His comfort, strength, and peace for the facing of the hours and days which lie ahead. My mother, Sara, sends her thoughts and Prayers also.

Dear Judge and Mrs. Killian and Mrs. Frances Killian,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Bill's death. When I lived in Brunswick, he was my lawyer and I found him to be a pleasant and helpful gentleman. Please know that you and your family and friends are being held up in prayer.
Sincerely,

My prayers are with the entire Killian family at this time. I was in the class of '66 but have been away from the area since graduation. It sounds as if Bill had a good life with his career in the field of Law. I know he will be missed.

I knew Bill for many years before coming to Savannah in 1979. We had a lot of laughs and he always had something funny to say whenever I would run into him while visiting Brunswick. He was so sweet to come to the funeral home when my mother passed away even through at the time it had been a few years since I had seen him. It saddens me that he will no longer be among us. I give my deepest sympathy to his family as he will be missed.

Bill and I were not friends at Glynn Academy, but I knew who he was and that is enough to care about someone. All of us of the Class of '67 want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and for your comfort in this time of sorrow and grief. We'll always remember Bill Killian, Class of '66.

I knew Bill through his brother Bob, my bandmate. I always enjoyed talking with Bill as we shared an offbeat sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with the Killian family.
