    Bill I know your family will miss you terribly. I will miss you and I only knew you for a short time. You treated me like I was your best friend. We had a great time swapping old stories. Not a lot of better man that I know of. May your family live in peace as you smile down upon them.

    Linda, Josh and family, I am so sorry for your loss. On the occasions I had to be around Bill, you could tell he was the type of person that made those around him smile and always feel better for knowing him and being around him. I know he made me feel that way. Thoughts, prayers and love up to you and the family.
