We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad.

It's always so difficult to lose a loved one.

May God heal your broken hearts.

To Alan, Kay, Lynda and Kevin we send our heartfelt condolences. Though we never met Bill, we can tell by your stories, comments and his art that we saw in Lynda and Kevin's home that he was a very interesting man. I enjoyed the detail about the roller coasters. May Bill rest in peace. Mary and Fern

Maria - sorry for the loss of your father-in-law.  It is wonderful that Cadence was able to grow up knowing him.  Take care - Blessings.

To Norma, Alan (Kay), Barry (Patricia), Brian (Maria), Cynthia (Richard), Joan, and all of Bill's family and friends: On behalf of the United States Submarine Veterans (USSVI), please accept our sincere condolences. May God bring to your hearts, peace, comfort, and healing. We are grateful for Bill's service to our country in the U.S. Submarine Service. … “Sailor, rest your oar. We have the watch. May you rest in peace and may God bless your loved ones who remain. Thank you for your service to our country."

So, heavenly Father add his name to the roll
Of our departed shipmates still on patrol.
Let them know that we who survive
Will always keep their memories alive. 

Bless those who serve beneath the deep,
Through lonely hours their vigils keep.
May peace their mission ever be!
Protect each one, we ask of Thee.

Bless those at home who wait and pray
For their return by night and day.
