Dear Chuck, Mary Anne, and Susie,
We will certainly miss our Uncle Bill. Bill was a loving godfather to Lee since before Lee was even born. Not a more honorable, respectful, loving, kind gentleman than Dr. William D. Futch. With love, Teri and Lee

We were honored to have met Bill and his fine family at Westminster while visiting with our German Shepherd, Ruby. She especially enoyed the visit as Bill always had a treat ready for her in his bureau. Our condolences on your loss.

So very sorry to learn of Dr. Futch's passing. He and my father ,Dr. John Karaphillis, were very good friends going back to Tulane days! Even after my Father's passing 10 years ago, he still kept in touch with my mother, Irene. I had the privilege of talking to him and always enjoyed our conversation! What a fine man he was! May his memory be eternal!
