It is a month since Nell and Matt were with you when you died, but left your spirit in the empty place in each of us. You have been a gift to us and we thank God for you. We will try to follow your example by becoming our true and best selves. Thank you, Bill. Rest in peace.(Sil)

I always felt so special because I was left-handed like my Uncle Beel. Your laughter and thoughtful pauses will be missed....so much! Thank you, Uncle Bill, for the connection!

Family and friends, I am sorry for the emptiness you must feel.

Fleen, you topped King David because you loved The Lord even when you were mad at Him. You were the essence of love and kindness. Roon

Dear Nell and Family,

We were so sorry to hear of our great loss. We will always remember Bill as a fun guy. What a fun silly time we all had. Our kids still talk about his Danny Kaye routine and how we looked forward to our time together when you came to Kansas City or we were in St Louis. He was such a kind and gentle person. We will all miss him and will always remember you two with a smile. Thanks for all the fond memories

Love, Pete and Peggy

There are very few people you can sit with, say very few words to and still feel comfortable, and completely at peace. My father was one of those people in my life and you were another. Thank you for the "peace" you gave me. I'll miss you forever.

All My Love,

Felicia

Dear Nell and Family,

Iwas startled to read Bety's forwarded infomation on the death of your husband. I am so sorry for your loss Nell and send deepest sympathy. Hope you and the children are copping OK. I'll have to learn of the particulars later since I just returned home this evening after being gone for 23 days to my daughter's in Colorado Springs where she delivered her second child. I'll plan to see you at the funeral in St. Louis.

Hugs of love to you,

Margo

What a sweet guy he was and how lucky Sis, Jer, Bunny, Pooh and I are for having had him as our model and friend. The five of us would be lesser persons had he not been in our lives. Rest well, Billy

When I was young, you were my tutor, instructor, mentor and supporter. You were always generous with your time, your talents and your love. Miss you Brother Bill.

I will remeber you with great affection and love.

Uncle Bill, Over the years I’ve watched you handle the ups and downs of life with such poise and grace that I’m in awe of your strength of character. I’ve witnessed the loving compassion, the kind understanding, and the strong moral fiber that will forever be the benchmark for which I strive. Truly a good man and my role model.

Bill Flynn "is not a name that ever groped for glory in a headline or shouldered other names aside for space to strut in... If a a man has any greatness in him, it comes to light, not in one flamboyant hour, but in the ledger of his daily work."

Dad

For such a quiet man your death seems to leave a disproportionately large void in this world. I will miss you forever.
