So sorry to hear about Bill. Our prayers will be with you all. Keith & Elaine

So sorry to hear the sad news about Bill. I was a classmate of his at South Park High School. My condolences to the family. May you find peace in knowing you have many wonderful memories to reflect upon. May god comfort you during this sad time.

Bill, you were a special friend to me, as well as my brother-in-law. I always enjoyed the times I spent with you. You were a wealth of knowledge when it came to guns or hunting. I always looked forward to seeing you. I know you were special to a lot of people for a lot of reasons. To me you were always a friend first and foremost. Bill, I think you never met a person that you did not make feel that they were your friend. I cannot imagine my brother-in-law being here.
Sherry, my heart goes out to you. I know this is the hardest thing in your life you have had to endure. I know Bill is still with you and Jennifer watching over the both of you. Bill would never leave you with anything he did not think you could handle. I know your love for Bill knows no bounds, whether Heaven or Earth shall never stand in the way of your Love for each other.
The morning Bill departed this mortal earth there was the most beautiful sunrise that we had seen for many days. It was as if Heaven was celebrating his homecoming. I know that I shall never see another sunrise like that without thinking of Bill.

Good Thoughts to the family.

Remembering what a great guy Bill was in South Park High School. It's so hard to know what to say when our friends & classmates go before us. I pray God's peace & comfort for his wife and family.

Susan, words don't help much at a time like this, but just know that you are loved. Bill was very, very special to your whole family. Wish we could've known him. My thoughts are with your family and especially your sister, Sherry.

I am saddened to hear that Bill passed away, and my heart goes out to his family.
Bill was always very nice to me, and has helped me many times during the years at work. All I had to do was call. He was a walking encyclopedia of plumbing codes, and always willing to give me advice.
His expertise and professionalism will be sorely missed.

I have many fond memories of Bill from days at South Park High School. My condolences to Bill's wife and family.

Dear Sherry and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was a sweetheart of a guy and will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
