Bill, you were a strong and brave man.
Even though I may not be able to look at you or hold you
You will always be near me.
And if we never again be together in body
You will be in my heart and soul forever.
And though my laughter will never be as loud
Or my smiles as wide, my dreams as big
Or my plans as important
My memories will never die.
I thank YOU for those memories.
And every time I think of you not being here
My heart aches......
Sure am gonna miss you
I'll be there with you soon babe
I will love you
Always and forever....
No Matter What

Billy meant so much to many people. Always very warm, friendly and accommodating, being sure everyone was welcomed. Good with fish, good with crabs, enjoyed his beer. We saw the caring love he shared with Debi constantly. We saw his courage in how he approached his disease with little complaint. What a wonderful, fine guy who enhanced ours lives. We are sorry he left us so soon; his smiles and mannerisms will stay with us as we miss him.

Uncle Bill, I miss you so much already. I miss your laugh, I miss your jokes, and the good times won't be the same without you. But I know you're in great company in heaven and running around with your dog baby Doodlebug, and I'm sure you'll keep busy eating crabs and drinking lots of beer until we see you again.

Uncle Billy you will be sorely missed for all time.

I'll never forget the first Memorial Day Nat and I were together. Uncle Billy and Aunt Debi welcomed me into their house and family. I felt so welcomed liked I truly belonged. You were both their when we dated, married, and had two little girls. And have always welcomed us into your home and hearts. He used to joke that I was allowed to come swim in the pool ... But under one circumstance, that I didn't bring Nat. :) 

You will truly be missed Uncle Billy! Now you get to be the girl's angel.

Though I didn't meet Billy too many times, it was always great to see him. I get the feeling that he almost never met a stranger, but that everyone was a friend. And he did once make me the most excellent cheese omelet.

We didn't see Billy all that much, but we loved him because of the type of person he was.  Whenever, we did meet up after years of not seeing each other he acted like we had just seen one another  & were all old friends ( as his wife Debi was our childhood friend) We will miss you Billy, and yes, we will have a beer to celebrate your life R. I. P.   Our love and respect go with you.   Ron and Helen Vanskiver

First it was the Four Musketeers. Then it was the Three Stooges.  Now it is Lucy and Ethel.  We are going to miss you so much.  No one could tell a story like you. Catch the big one.    Love and Peace.

I didn't know Billy that well but I think he was a good guy who loved my cousin very much. He was always friendly and a happy person to be around. He will be missed.

Uncle Billy was always telling a story or a joke... Loved having fun and always welcomed us with love. We will truly miss him, and we know him and uncle Dicky and dad are up there fishing and having fun!!

Bill was  one of a kind I can still remember the first time I met Bill. He knew who he was take him or leave him  he was just Bill. I am surely glad that I had the pleasure to meet and work with Bill he surely will be missed by everyone that knew him. May God bless him and his family.

Bill was a wonderful, caring and fun co-worker. My sincere condolences to his family.

Bill was a great co-worker at Stanley Engineering, and always went out of his way to help me get done what I needed. He is sorely missed by all of us in the office and shop at Stanley. My sympathies to all the family. Ralph Johnson, Purchaisng Agent at Stanley Engineering.
