We live 4 houses fown from Bill and Marcy. Bill was a wonderful, kind, loving man who cared about everyone. He had wonderful stories to tell about the LACFD and his humor made my laugh so hard at times that I couldn’t breathe! You will truly be missed my friend. Mary and I loved you very much and now our Lord has you in his loving arms!

Bill and Marci have been our neighbors for over twenty years, they both made us feel so welcome when we moved into the neighborhood in 1999, Each afternoon as I returned home from my work day Bill and our other neighbor Mike would be sitting across in Mikes front yard talking and having a beer, I would pull up and hear in tandem “John get over here we need to discuss something!” So off I went to talk story with these two great guys that were kind enough to include this younger guy in their conversations and stories. Both are now resting with our Lord and smiling, Bill was such a wonderful, friendly giving man, always first to say hello, so proud to show off his fire department collection he had put together and so proud off all of his achievements and his children and grandchildren. Marcy, Shannon and Jennie, please accept our sincere condolences for your terrible loss. John & Diane Abell
