Eleanor, we are thinking of you during this difficult time. We are so glad we met you and Bill through the Allegro Club and will cherish the good memories of camping. You will be in our prayers during the coming days.  Love, Karen and David Williams

Eleanor, I worked for Bill for 28 years and although I have not seen him for a while, I still have fond memories of him.  He was like a father to me and I will never forget him.  His memory will forever be in my heart.  I loved him very much.  My deepest sorrow to you for your loss.

Sending our deepest sympathies and sincere condolences to Aunt Eleanor, Cousin Billy, loving family, and adoring friends of Bill.   We have treasured memories in our lives that are full of marked times, and we are proud to call Bill "Uncle and dear friend."    Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers.   May the Lord provide you with opportunity to reflect, to make order out of chaos, and to move forward.

Dear Eleanor, Maxwell and I will remember Bill with that smile and his friendly ways while in Decatur. We are so sorry for your loses so close together. Our prayers are with you. 

Maxwell and Frances Cox, Roaring Gap, N. C.

Bill was a fine man and I really enjoyed working for him over the years, our prayers are with the family.

I primarily knew Mr. Powell though our banking relationship. The epitome of what a banker should be, our world would be better if more were like him. 
Words will never adequately describe what he meant to my family's business success. 
Rest in peace my friend.

Bill Powell started as a client, and over the years become someone I consider a good friend. He's has a wonderful impact on my life for which I will forever be grateful.
