Hate to have missed the service of such a good man. Was like a Dad to me and so enjoyed working with him. He meant the World to me and we know that he and Frankie are together with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Very sorry to hear of Bill's leaving this earth. Played football with him and "hung out" at the Campus often. He was a big fan of Johnny Cash particularly "I Walk the Line". His laugh, which he did a lot, was so unique and is still in my mind. It was always good times with Bill. Thankful to have known him.
