Although I only knew Bill a short while I did know his wife for many years through my wife and Marci’s fascination with horses. The time I did spend with Bill I found a kind and good man, although he was suffering from his illnesses he had a very positive attitude and always smiled, a lesson for us all. I wish I got to know him much sooner before his battle but am glad for the time I did get to spend with him. In the brief time I knew him he left me with a feeling that I knew him all my life. My Prayers for Bill’s family. The void left behind can and will never be filled until the day when we all get to spend eternity with him and all our other friends and family that left our lives. May God smile down on Bill’s family and give them God’s peace .

Marcy, Shannon, Jennie, and family
Our deepest sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. In our grief we are reminded once again of Bill’s love for his family, his devotion to his profession, and his ability to make us laugh while not taking life to seriously. My uncle you will be sadly missed.
