We are so sorry for your loss and we will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers in the weeks to come. Snake was a really good guy and I worked with him for years at Steelcase. Always looked forward to the get together at Snakes to play cards and see all the guys and just have a guys night out. Went to Michigan dragway with him. It was always a good time when Snake was around. He was a real good friend, easy to take too, easy going, and well loved by all who new him. Sorry for your loss, Mike & yvonne Akey

Very sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Lost my father last year and it's hard. My husband went to school with Bob; I went to school with Bill; and my brother Dan went to school with Tom (I think). To John and Becky I am deeply sorry for your lose. We will be thinking of you in the days ahead. I pray great memories will help you. I was fortunate to work with Becky at Grand Bank. It's a small world how paths cross. Gloria

I'm keeping you in my thoughts Jim and John. Your Dad left a big group of friends with a lot of great memories. We all have our favorite "Snake" story.

Jim and John (and families), Uncle Snake has all been a wonderful part of my life. From when I was little to now, his was a great guy who lived for his family. He was a bigger than life guy with a laugh and a story to tell. I treasure his recent trips to Tennessee bringing Grandma to see us. I hope that you know that he was proud of you and loved you very much.

I met Bill (Snake) on a golfing trip to California a couple of years ago. My impression of him was what a wonderful person he was. He was always smiling and I could see and feel that he genuinly cared about the people around him. It was my great pleasure to have known him.
 My heart felt condolences to you and your family.

 Words can't heal the pain you are going through. Only the memories you shared with "Dad" are left to hold on too. You and your family are in our thoughts in this great time of sorrow.
