Bill was as nice and positive a guy as they come.  I had the privilege of getting to sing with him in chorus and when filling in for various quartets.  I can't ever remember seeing him without a smile on his face.  He will be missed.

I've always said that there is nothing more sad than a 1 car funeral. Bill cerftainly did not have that problem, the tuesday visitation lasted till 8:00 with a long line at the end and wednesdays funeral service at St Lukes had every pew full of Bill's family and friends. Bill's smile and heart will live on in many of our hearts and minds. Rest in peace Bill.

We are very sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Pat--Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am truly saddened by your family's loss.  My sincere sympathies to all of you.  He was an amazing man and he is sharing his love and happiness in heaven now watching over all of you.

Pat & Family,
  I am unable to attend Bill's funeral, but please know that, as  you grieve Bill's death, you will be in my prayers.  I remember Bill during my time at St. Luke's as a man faithful and loyal to his God and church, to you, Pat, to his family, and to his community & country.  God has surely rewarded him for the good he did.  Bill, may you live forever in the joyful presence of your Creator. 
Fr. Gene Neff

Matt and family, I am so very sorry for your loss.  Your Dad sounds like a terrific man and father.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks.

To Pat and the Stock family, Karen and I wish to give our deepest condolences.  Bill was a special friend to us but especially to me.  I will have many memories of Bill and the fun times we shared.  We wish we could have been there to show our respects but we must say it our words.  We wish the best for Pat and your family and hope to see you when we do return.
Sincerely,
Mark and Karen Tuttle

Bill was not only an International Gold Metal Singer, but he and Pat represent what it takes to be a Gold Metal couple and parents .  Always in our hearts and prayers.

I am keeping all of you in my prayers.  I will miss his way of always saying hello with a kiss and being his "date" the first Tuesday of every month.

I loved and very much respected Bill Stock (my dad's 1st. cousin) for the way he conducted his life. God has already said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant".

Matt and I were best friends in high school and I'll never forget driving my VW Bug over to the Stock house and getting crap from his older brothers. However, I was always greeted by Mrs. Stock with a kiss on the cheek and a friendly hello from Bill Stock. Although I haven't seem either of them in over 15 years, I still consider them family. I'm sure Bill has joined a heavenly quartet by now...

Our hearts go out to you -- Uncle Bill's smiling face is embedded in our memories forever.

Pat, Ron and I were so sadden by the death of Bill.  I will always remember him singing.  He is now singing in the big chorus with the all his Barbershopper friends that have gone before him. Please know that he will always be remembered at a happy man and enjoyed his family and friends.

Bill Stock was my dads first cousin. I attended many of his Barbarshop shows and saw him quite a bit lately as one by one the cousins pass away. But the thing I respected him most for was the honorable way he conducted his life. He was such a wonderful, genuine, loving person as is his wife Pat. I pray God will give his family the strength to sustain them in their time of grief.

Bill will be missed by all his schoolmates he was a good friend and always had a happy disposition. So sorry for his family.

Condolences and "Eternal Blessings" to The Stock Family.
