  MY MEMORYS WAS HAVING BREAKFAST WITH BILL ABOUT EVERY DAY. WE WOULD LAUGH AN JOKE AN TELL STORIES AND HE WAS ALWAYS ON ME TO QUIT SMOKING. I MISS BILL AND THE ADVISE HE WOULD OFFER ON JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.I KNOW HOW MUCH HE LOVED HIS WIFE AND WHOLE FAMILY WE WHERE PRETTY CLOSE AND WE WOULD TALK ON THE PHONE WHEN HE GOT REALLY BAD OR ONE OF THE GIRLS WOULD BRING HIM BY THE SHOP.GOD BLESS YOU BILL AN KEEP THE LANDSCAPE IN HEAVEN LOOKING GOOD.YOUR BUDDY NORM

I will never forget when my dad passed, I had a really bad time dealing with it, thanks to uncle Bill, he helped me though it 

This. This handsome guy. “The Ugliest of us all.” He’d always hold your hand with intention. Let you know how much he loved you. He only said that more as we got older, realizing the meaning behind saying those words out loud for us to hear. He always made time to make me feel like I was his only grandkid for even just a moment. Family was his first priority, especially in the end. 

I loved that I had the special moments doing both of my grandparent’s hair. I asked as many questions as I could, making them tell me as many stories as I could get out of them, so I could try to burn them into my memories. They, were just as important as my grandparents. 

Seeing the old photos of them being freshly in love, and just married... there’s nothing like knowing the love that you grew from. Thank you both for being such a great example of love. 

I can’t wait to dance with both of you! Save a place on your dance card for me, I love you!

I came to be part of the Peabody clan as stepson of Uncle Bill's brother, my stepdad, Howard Peabody. I always enjoyed when we would go visit Uncle Bill & Aunt JoAnn & all their wonderful kids. Uncle Bill was a kind & caring person that I'm a better man for knowing. Rest in peace & say hi to Aunt JoAnn!

I went to breakfast with Bill every morning for years .He always looked forward to telling about his past deeds,and his kids an grandkids.I have missed him the last few years and did not go see or he come see me near enough. A  good honest man has passed and I will always consider him a good friend my sympathies goes out to all his children and  an family.               NORM

Richard and I send our love and our condolences to each of you in your family.. our prayers are with you in your time of grieving.... Richard thoroughly enjoyed his visit with your dad , December 2019... Richard said they had a wonderful visit and talked all day long ..such a wonderful  memory

Love, prayers  and blessings to each of you

Dear Brenda, Diana, Gayle, Randy, Cindy & Lorie,
I am so very sorry for your loss. 

I will remember your dad as a sweet, gentle man.  He always had such a genuine smile and an encouraging word; his kind eyes made a person feel like they were important to him. 

I remember running into him at the grocery store years ago, and he gave me the best hug; I really needed his hug that day. 
Love & hugs to each of you,  
Cathy

Uncle Bill touched so very many lives with his kindness and love. He was my Tucson anchor and I always felt so welcomed in his and your mom’s home. So many wonderful memories there. 

My heart aches for you and your family during this time. Although it hurts deeply to never be able to hear his laugh, see his smile again, feel his touch… I know he, and all those that have gone before him, are now watching over each of us. I am at peace knowing he is once again in the arms of his one true love and that one day, by God’s grace, we will all be together again.

Sending you all so much love,
Douglas, Deborah, Stephanie, Larabelle, Desirae, and Elijah
