To Bill's family I offer my condolences, while I didn't know him long, I enjoyed stopping and chatting with him while visiting my dad across the hall at Good Sam. What a great guy he was. I will miss seeing him strolling up and down the hallway.

To Bills family I offer my condolences, what a life he has lived and the things he has seen. I was lucky enough to have known Bill and listened to many of his stories
