I am so sorry to hear about Bill. He and I had known each other for over 20 years and we had stopped to visit a few yrs back and we were driving thru CO. Again I am so sorry.
Kathy,
I am so sorry that I am just finding out about Bill. I wish I could have been there to see you through this hard time. Always remember he will never leave your heart. Love you.
Bill will be missed.
Even though I had not seen him in awhile, I know the world will be a little less colorful without Billy in it.
Momfus,
It’s hard to imagine a world without the smile and bright light of Bill. We know you’re strong, but the rest of your family and friends are here to lean on… call on us for anything! Love you!

I worked with Bill at Verizon/MCI for several years. I was deeply saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. He touched many lives and will be missed by everyone who knew him.
I am so sorry we could be there. I pray you have your family with you for support.
Kathy,
Bill’s love for life and the joy he showed when learning something new will be missed by all of us who had the honor of teaching and knowing him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
