Dear Donna, Inda, Ellen and families;

Please accept our sincere condolences over the recent passing of your Dad and Grandpa, Bill Duvall.  He was a wonderful and gentle man, one whom everyone liked and respected.  This note comes to you after learning of not only your Dad's death, but the passing of your Uncle Cecil.  Our thoughts and prayers go to both your families during this difficult time.

Sincerely;  Dick & Sandy Fox  (from FL)

Wow, another "Angel" is sitting at the right hand of "the Father".  
I am so sorry for your loss.
You know that your Dad was quite a man.  Kept his family straight and his farm in order. He was a living breathing example of what God want's a father to be to his family.   I have so many memories, I could go on and on.   But mostly I know that your Dad is in a happy place right now.  I believe that he is probibly sippin on a cup of coffee with "John" the son who left too soon. I pray that you all recognize that we only get to keep our parents for a short while, and then they go, to be with their "Father".  God Bless you girls.  Many wonderful memories.  Cindy Stewart "Pratt"

Donna, Inda and Ellen - I'm so sorry to have missed the services and the opportunity to catch up with extended family as we were out of town. Another member of a great generation is gone. Uncle "Big Hands" Bill (as my husband refers to him) had a personality as big as those hands and will be remembered fondly. So sorry for your loss.

I just wanted to express my sympathy to the family of "Bill" Duvall.  I ran the Summer Swimming program for years at Heuvelton and Bill was one of our drivers.  He was the Greatest!!!  The kids loved him...as did we all.....RIP Bill Duvall, God has taken another good one.......He was one of the best.....<3   Sue

Our deepest simpathy goes too the family of Mr Duvall,,May God be with you all ,,,The Daniel Family

I had great respect for Uncle Bill (and Aunt Eva) and am saddened by his loss and will miss talking with him.  I will always remember the well organized farm, and liked the fact he had set up a room in the right front corner of the barn for the vet to take care of the animals.  Our condolences go out to all the family.

As members of the Amvets and Auxiliary we would occassionally deliver a meal to Bill and he was always so appreciative and glad to see us.
He will be missed.

To the Duvall Family, many fond memories of spending the night at your family farm before and after ballgames. Sorry for your loss.Mary White Vondell

If I close my eyes and drift back in time a little i can remember... riding between grandpa and grandma in the front seat of their car listening to country music on 8 track tapes. The trips to camp past the buffalo in the field and down the dirt road, the smell of the camp, the sound of the screen door slamming shut as I go running to the dock, past the bath tub where I keep all my prize catches of the day to join grandpa Duvall on the boat for a day of fishing. Those were the best summers! I can remember bathing in the lake with floating soap, four leaf clovers, apple pies, sweet corn for dinner every night, huge gardens with fresh vegetables, clothes hanging out to dry, night crawlers, an orange tackle box, being late for picnics because we were fishing all day, ice fishing, Saturday night HeeHaw and then the Lawrence Welk show, church on Sunday mornings, the sting of iodine and mecuricome, (ouch! grandpa put it on everything), 4 digit phone numbers, the sounds of the Amish horse and buggy going through town. Most of all I remember the LOVE!   The big farmers hands, the bigger bear hugs and the smell of grandpas cologne. So many awesome memories! Thank you Grandpa (and Grandma)

"Of all the men I've known in my life, your Dad, and my own Dad were the two finest,most honorable of all.Bill Duvall will always, and forever,be held in the highest regard,and respect.So few are so good! My prayers,and most precious memories are with each of you. God Bless you all.

Donna,Inda, Ellen and families.   
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your father.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Inda, Donna, Ellen and Family Members, It was with much sadness that Carol and I received the news of your father's passing from Jeanine and Rob last evening.  We know he will be sorely missed. Please accept our condolences.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and may God bless and watch over you in this time of sorrow.

Donna, Inda, Ellen and families. Uncle Bill was such a kind, kind gentleman. Oh how he will be missed. He certainly was one of a kind, always had a smile on his face and in his eyes. He was a very special man to all that knew him. May he rest in peace with that forever smile. God surely has another angel.

I have been blessed to have so many years with the warmest, kindest grandfather a girl could have! I will cherish all of the wonderful memories I have of my grandparents. My grandmother and grandfather were examples of what hard work and dedication mean in life. Grandpa worked hard and enjoyed life. He persevered though the hard times. He always taught us that friends and family were a treasure! He was such a great role model and I loved listening to his stories! I will miss the big bear hugs and holding his HUGE hands. He always made me feel like a little girl and his little princess! After 9 long years my grandparents are united! May they live in eternity together and shine their love down on us! I will miss u grandpa!!!

Donna, Inda, Ellen and Families,
I read with great sadness about the passing of your father, Bill.  He was a gentle man with a big heart.  A very special person and the best neighbor!  My condolences go out to you all at this time.  Thoughts and prayers are with you.

With deepest sadness I mark the passing of a wonderful man. Wm. Duvall (Uncle Bill) passed today into the arms of his Lord. Uncle Bill was a real Gentleman and one of the most honorable men I have ever known. Always a quick smile and a warm and hearty handshake. 
Growing up the kids in our family always looked forward to the times we shared with Uncle Bill and Aunt Eva. May he rest together with the love of his life with the peace and honor he so well deserves.
