Bill was a very special person and friend. He was a man who honored God with his life in many ways. He was always thoughtful at square dances regarding the ladies who did not have a regular partner. He assessed the situation at the beginning of every dance and, to the best of his ability, made sure that every one of them enjoyed a dance. He was faithful to any responsibility that was his to fulfil in his club memberships and board positions and executed each to the best of his ability.

I had the privilege of being a regular square and round dance partner of Bill's in recent years and I learned a great deal from his dancing experience. More than that, it was a great pleasure to dance with him because he danced so well and he added just enough of his own style to make it fun and, sometimes, challenging. I am so glad that during one of the last dances that we shared, a beautiful waltz, I told him how very much that I enjoyed dancing with him!

Our 2011 fall trip to a dance camp in Colorado and the following week exploring was a wonderful experience. Having spent summers conducting jeep tours, his knowledge of the area via jeep exploration greatly enhanced the vacation.

I know that his family will miss him greatly as well as his many friends in the square dancing community. I am one of those who will miss him very much.

May Bill's family find peace knowing that he is with the Lord and that he enjoyed a rich and rewarding life and was a blessing to many,

Bill was a very special friend to my mother, Nickie Grimes. He met her at square dancing and was so kind to come and pick her up to go to the dances, along with several other ladies. He made the effort to come and visit her in the hospital a year ago when she suddenly got ill and passed away. It meant a lot to her that he came. He will be rewarded for his kindness, and I wanted his family to know how much it was appreciated.

Mr. Tetley was a great person,coach & motivator. He was the very first coach in this area, probably the state that coached gymnastics. As a member of his Langham Tumbling Team, we not only learned how to do flips, handstands,headstands flip-flops, etc. but were taught alot of life lessons also. Mr. Tetley will be greatly missed.

There are many sweet memories of my friend, Bill. One of the favorite is him teaching me about his special hard tack candy.

I will miss Bill's antics on the dance floor, he always livened the square up when we square danced and made sure all of us single women got to dance. He was a true friend to all and served wherever he could. He will be missed by me and countless others. I am thankful for my association with him over the last 10 years. Prayers continue for his family.
