Though Bill and I had not spoken in years I loved him very much. I am shocked and saddend to know that my first cousin is no longer on this earth. I do however take comfort in knowing that he was a Christian and is now in the presence of our Savior Jesus Christ. To be absent from the body is to be in the presence of the Lord.

To the Spruill family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Bill and I grew up next door neighbors and really close friends. Bill made a lasting impression in my life and was truly admired. Trey

Dearest Bill, Thank you for the blessing of your kindness and warm heart. Your generosity in spirit and love of life touched the lives of all those who were blessed to have known you. May you be comforted by the angels --- I will keep your loved ones in my prayers and in my heart. With fondest memories, Susan Friedman

A Godly man who loved the Lord and his family. Someone who loved life so much. This world will miss you Bill. See you one day in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus.

Deborah, Andrea and Zachary, We stand with you in grieving the loss of a wonderful man. We will continue to lift your family up in prayer for strength, support and most of all, the loving arms of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Please accept my humble sorrow on the death of Bill. I worked with him at J&J years ago and recently saw him at the Oncology Nursing Society meeting in San Antonio last month. He will always be remembered by his warm smile and kindness.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your sweet family. It is our sincere prayer that the Peace of God that transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Annamarie and I send our love and prayers to Bill's family and we'll also be sending a contribution to the scholarship fund. The greatest tribute to Bill will be that his positive outlook on life and can-do spirit lives on in all of us and especially with the family he left here!

Bill always had a smile and a hello whenever you saw him. He was a warm and funny man that you loved being around. His family was his life, and he will be missed by all who knew him.

The Lord is with you as you walk through this valley in your life. We love you guys and we are praying for your family.

Sam & Teresa, 
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your entire family. Your Sugar Creek Country Club Family

My Beloved Friends. I have lost one of my most faithful 
Spirit led Brothers. Bill blessed me with his actions as a father husband and friend. There was only one Bill among us and his goal has now been accomplished. I will see you again and I cannot wait to feel that big hug. Deborah my sister. I have always loved and cherished you and I will not forsake you as your Brother and Friend. David Dale

Thinking of you all during this difficult time. God bless.

God bless your family during this difficult time but find comfort that God is in control. You have many friends who love and respect you and your family and all that you have done for others.

My thoughts and prayers and are with your whole family.

Deborah and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May God give you strength and comfort in your time of need. You are in my prayers. Sincerely, 
Melissa

I am so sorry for your loss. Teresa has spoken of William before and I know how much he was loved. I will continue to pray that God's grace and peace will be with you.

Deborah, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry to learn today of Bill's tragic and premature passing. He was a childhood friend to my brother Scott and a legendary character in Galveston. News of his death sent me into a journey inward, revisiting not only his numerous, sidesplittingly hysterical impersonations and 'bits' but also just what a kind and fun guy he was. Although I was over 10 years younger than he and my brother, I remember that he frequently took the time to play games with me, most memorably: now you're weak... now you're strong. Wishing Bill's wife and children strength in the coming days, weeks, and years. I will be unable to attend on Thursday but will be thinking of Bill on that day especially.

God called him home before us for a reason we do not know. What a joy it was knowing him here on earth. We appreciated him as a joyous neighbor, Christian brother and loving father and husband. We look forward to being with Bill in Heaven - the wonderful promise and reality giving to us by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Dear Deborah and family, I am so sad to hear of Bill's passing. My heart goes out to you. Bill was one of the finest men I have ever known. He was smart, kind, funny and it was obvious he loved his family and the Lord. 
My prayers are with you for peace and comfort.

I went to high school with Bill. He was always such a sweet man. I am so sorry to hear about his death. My prayers are with his family. Stephanie Pecora

My deepest condolences are with you in this time of grief. I only knew Bill for the last couple of years, yet it feels like I have known him forever. He always talked about how proud he was of his family. He has inspired me to be a better husband to my wife and father to my sons.

Go now in Peace,May the Spirit of Love surround you,everywhere you may go...

My deepest sympathies to the Spruill family. I will always remember Bill for how lovingly he spoke of his wife, Deborah & both of his children, Andrea & Zachary.One of my fondest memories was while attending a meeting @ Pharmion in Austin where Bill had brought a DVD of Zach playing basketball. Bill made sure that everyone got to see how well his son played the game & seeing the pride in his eyes & hearing the love in his voice has he narrated the event he had captured on video, in addition to taking the time to edit in sound/music & the repeats of Zach making the baskets, truly epitomized what being a father is all about. Bill's smile was contaigous & he always smiled the greatest whenever he spoke of his wife & kids, which is why he will always be a role model to me of what a true family man should be.

Deborah: I am so sorry to hear of your husband's death. My prayers will be for you and your family, especially through these difficult days. May God's peace and love fill your heart and give you comfort. Gay Young (Geneva School of Boerne)

Deborah and Children, 
We are so grieved by your loss. It is so hard to take it all in right now. Bill would "pick Rich's brain" about basketball just to help Zach with his game. Rich was always impressed with Bill's kind heart and godly love! He will be sorely missed. We are storming the throne of God on your behalf and will continue to. God bless! 
We love you, 
Rich and Dorothy Flora

My thoughts and prayers are with you Debbie, 
Remember we got married the same year? You and Bill were blessed with many happy years and I will pray for you and your children's peace and blessings always. Luv Rose

May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you with His perfect peace.

I knew Bill in Galveston in our early to mid-teens; we lived across the street in Colony Park. He was my best friend. In college, I had the honor of participating in Deborah and Bill's wedding. By that point, we lived in separate cities and had gone our own ways to begin our adult lives; it meant a lot to me that he still thought enough of our childhood friendship to include me in his most important day. Many years and miles have passed, yet I will always remember Bill's vibrant imagination and marvelous sense of humor. I know he must have been the best father ever, he was great with kids; my little brothers adored him, too. It breaks my heart today to hear the news of Bill's passing, yet comforting to know that his children -- and his children's children -- will carry on his light. The world needs more "William Spruills" and I am grateful to have known him. Please convey my heartfelt condolences to Deborah, Wendy, Bill and Louise Spruill.

Nothing, not death or life or war, not the past, the present, or the future, no one, no creature on this earth, can separate you from the love of God. (This I read from my calendar on the day Bill passed away). Love, from Aunt JoAnn and Uncle Phil

We were at SACS on Sunday for our youth group. We have been praying for your family that day and every day since. Please know there are people all around you that you do not even know who are keeping you in our prayers daily.

Our deepest condolences to Debra, the children and family. Our prayers, thoughts and tears are with you all. We love you deeply. Willis, Evonn, Stephen, Emily and Samuel Hansen

Dear Deborah, Our hearts go out to you and your family with Bill's death. You and Bill touched many lives through our Marriage Intimacy Classes as small group leaders. Lives were touched and marriages were saved through the sharing of your wonderful marriage. We have always valued you as friends and co-workers of the Gospel of Christ. May the Lord bless you and keep you and may you feel His presence as He carries your family through this difficult time. You and Bill were wonderful to me when we lost our Brian and I will never forget getting together at Sea Island. We love you,

bill was a very good and old friend from back in the galveston days of the late 70's and early 80's. i just talked to him about 2 weeks ago , this is very shocking and sad , my best to his wife deborah and kids......bobby murphy

What a wonderful guy.He was a great football player for BHS. He had to have been the best dad in the world .I remember when Tommy Smith,Bill and I went sailing in the bayou and the wind died down,they were so scared we wouldn't make it back.Then when he went to Greece he was so excited. I loved that guy.My prayers go out to all of his family. I can't believe he is gone.

I first met Bill back when we went to Weis middle school in Galveston and he played on the football team with me. Bill was always a kind and extremely competative person. I know he was just as wonderful to his family. Bill will be truely missed. My prayers go out to his family. May you find strenght and comfort in your hearts in the name of the lord until you see your father and friend again... With my sincere condolences...Arnold Moreno

Dear Deborah, 
At SACS, I was your "twin" and the kids used to get us mixed up and call me by your name. It was a great compliment to me as I admire you and your years of service to the kids at SACS. And what wonderful people at that school, who would take the time to inform me, a former SACS parent, of the tremendous loss of your husband. I am so sorry, just so sorry, that you are having to walk this painful journey. So suddenly. So soon. I lifted you up to the throne, earlier this morning, as asked our God to wash over you with His Spirit, and to take your hand because He knows exactly how you feel right now. I will continue to ask for His covering for you, Andrea, and Zachary and the rest of Bill's family, in the days, weeks and months ahead. Rest, my precious sister, in the fact that we grieve WITH hope, not without it. You are so loved. Kelley Barnett 
(Simon's Mom)

Bill was such a kind-hearted and wonderful person. He will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers to Deborah, Andrea and Zachary.

Deborah & Family: 
Please accept our sincere & heartfelt condolenses on your sudden & unexpected loss. We are praying for you & your family during this trying time. Our hearts are very saddened, but Bill's soul will live on with our Creator...God Bless You. 
Sent With Love, 
Vincent & Sarah Barletta & Family

Bill played football for BHS and I was a cheerleader. He used to let me wear his jersey to school on game days. We had many classes together and we shared the love for someone that was very special in both of our lives when we were growing up - Elvie Watson. He used to tease me that I stole her from him. He worked so hard to put our last reunion together. He always had a smile on his face and he never had an unkind word to say about anyone. He will be missed! We love you Bill!

We are so glad we have had the chance to become friends with Bill and your family over the last year. He always was so friendly and so caring. We know he loved his family deeply. Luke and Mitchell will always have fond memories of "little Zach's" Dad shooting around, having fun, and encouraging them on the court. 
 Your family is in our prayers, Tom, Jacque, Grant, Mitchell and Luke McMullen

Bill, You had so many gifts: the gift of humor; the gift of service; the gift of loving; the gift of knowing another person's heart - I have always and will always look up to you. I will miss your many zany voices and your smile and wit. Happy Trails to you until we meet again, "Cowboy" Bob Eskridge

TO THE FAMILY OF WILLIAM SPRUILL, DEBORAH AND CHILDREN, WE SORROWFULLY EXPRESS OUR CONDOLENCES AND ARE DEEPLY SADENED FOR YOUR SUDDEN AND TRAGIC LOSS. FROM YOUR NEIGHBORS AT 18303 APACHE SPRINGS, LETTY AND FIDEL HUERTA

What a loss here on Earth to have Bill leave us so suddenly. What a wonderful addition to heaven to have him there. My prayers are with his family. Melissa

I've never met a kinder, loving man. He was always interested in you, he always asked questions about you. I will never forget when he "kidnapped" Bill from the nursing home to get him out for a little while because he cared. He was the best father, husband and friend and we will never forget him.
