Bill was a great friend, and a great dancer. I enjoyed my time sitting at the bar just talking to him. My Dad was real close friends with him. I was friends with him for a long time, and he was my favorite dancer. He will be missed so much.

I’m very sorry for your loss. I worked with Bill at the appraisers office and always enjoyed his quick wit. He taught me a lot and was a lot of fun to be around. Prayers for you and your family to find comfort in all of the wonderful memories you made.

I've been thinking about you for some time now and this must be why. Our friendship was so very long ago but I remember good times and respecting you and all that you had done. Bill, I will remember you and pray your family finds comfort in your love. Rest well.
