There was a man with a big heart and good intentions.. he did his best to help others when he could. He taught his Grandchildren with patience and love. He was lost though in the dark sea of addiction which often overshadowed the good man hiddent there. We will miss your laughter. Your willingness to lend a hand. For those who take the time to visit this sight please pause and reflect on the good times in his life and cherish those memories. Let the other ones go for there are many.. Bill fly free

Bill was a very good and likable person, and would help you if you needed help. He was a good friend along with his wife and family. I have been friends with them the whole time they were married. And I have been friends with Dorothy for over 37 years. Bill and Dorothy had alot of good times, and I know the worst part about leaving this life, is leaving behind the one’s you love and who loved and cared about you.Bill you will be missed . May you rest in peace and no more suffering. God bless
