Barbie, Jenny & Zach. We had known Bill but a few years, but his quick smile and quicker wit always brought a smile. His encyclopedic knowledge of all things mechanical always surprised us. The only way any of this makes sense is that God has a vintage car that even He couldn't get running, and He called Bill home for some advise. Bill is looking down, smiling, comfortable and happy.

Bill you were a wonderful person. Im so thankful that I got to meet you. I remember the time you took me out on your boat on the Neches River. It was the most fun I have had in a long time. We rode the knee board and the water ski's and it was a blast! You are in a better place now Bill so that brings me peace. You will always be remembered.

Bill,

Im sitting here thinking of what to write in your guest book, something that really expresses how sad I am that I wont hear you riding up on that loud (but freakin sweet) Motorcycle to the house again. But the only things I can think of are that time you were loudly singing that "Cocaine" song by Eric Clapton, you sounded nothing like him but it was hilarious. Or the time we sat in lawn chairs watching Monty push-mow the lawn, talking about how much energy he always has while we're drinking ice cold beverages doing nothing. Or the free cookies you and dad would always stop in for while I was bored watching TV at work. Or the moment I realized that you were the same Bill as Bill at West End Automotive--really embarrassing after so many years of knowing you. I can't tell you how much Im going to miss having you around. Ill just keep thinking about all of the crazy Bill stories you've told me, and really cherish having such a great person like yourself in my life.

Bill,

It's crazy to think that we had to lose someone as great as you. You were one of a kind. It was impossible to be around you and not laugh. You were a great husband, dad, grandfather, and friend. I promise the next time i'm at Willy Burger I will get the chili cheese hot dog with onion rings for you. Because that sounds so good, i'll go ahead and get two and eat both haha. You will always be missed. Love you, Bill.

Barbie, Zach, Jenn and family, I am so sorry for your loss. The last 5 years that I have worked for my father, i became close to Bill. He would stop by daily and head to lunch with us or just take a seat up here in the office and talk. He was SO VERY PROUD of all of you. He was always telling us how you all were doing and of course he had a new funny story about you guys every day. He was an inspiration to you guys, BUT, you were all such an inspiration to him. I've have never known a person who was so kind, selfless and just full of life like he was. I will FOREVER think of him and smile and know that he crossed all of our paths for a reason and I myself have learned so much from him. Mr. Bill,we all will miss you so very much.
