Robert, Steve, and Dave,
I send condolences to you on the loss of your father, and I send thanks to you for your condolences on Dad's passing. It's as if our fathers had this all figured out: spending about the same 2 1/2 years as room mates at Homewood, being admitted to the hospital at the same times, passing within a week of each other. Both of our families have a lot to be thankful for, with two great Dads!

Dear Bob, Steve, Dave, and family,
It was such a pleasure to know your mom and dad and we have fond memories of our conversations, especially when your dad would come over and swim in our pool. He would swim laps while your mom would sit and watch him from the deck. They were both such lovely people, and we especially remember your mom's amazing strawberry pies! We were so appreciative when your dad would visit us after church when we moved into town.
We have been traveling and are sorry we were unable to attend your dad's services.
Love,
Rachel and Bob Toft

Dear Robert, Steve, and David,
Our thoughts are with you and the family. You have shown such love and devotion toward your father for so many years. The relationship that you all had with him shone so brightly, and it continues to be an inspiration. We hope that the strength of that love carries you all through this difficult time, and that peace finds you soon. With love, Ruth and Cassie

I am a retired U.S. Park Ranger who worked for Mr. Failor at the C&O Canal NHP. He had the responsibility of forming the new park. Enjoyed working with him. Sorry for your loss. Mike Barnhart

In my mind, Bill represented the "best" of National Park Service management. His passion for parks and his conservation ethic resulted in numerous natural resource innovations at the C & O Canal National Historical Park. He encouraged me and others to further understand and implement park conservation programs. "Being a good stewart" of national resources paralleled what I observed to be part of his ethical character and strong spiritual beliefs. I thank you Bill for your inspiration; you truly made a difference.
