Bill was a joy to golf with, and a hecka of a Pirate fan. Think we talked more baseball than golf. His legacy is his family and they will reap his love and caring forever. jack stonestreet

I played some golf with Bill, worked down at the Port where Bill worked, and so much enjoyed talking to him after church at St John's going over the sporting events of the week. He truly loved sports and was so proud of his grandkids and their involvement with sports.

Our family will always remember Bill for his kind nature and all he did hauling our kids around with his grandkids to their various activities. We are so sorry for your loss. The Iverson Family.

I played many rounds of golf with Bill when I lived in Gig Harbor, and he was always great to be around. He and Audrey raised a nice family, and I know he will be greatly missed. He and my dad were friends, and I lost my dad last year, so I know how hard it is for all the family. You are in my prayers.
