I will never forget meeting Bill when I bought the house next to him 49 years ago. He has been part of our family for all those years.  The smiles he would display when Paula took over a meal or a sweet treat will never be forgotten.  No one will ever realize just how much he meant to us.  He was more than a neighbor and he will be greatly missed.  Our thoughts and prayers go with his family.

Mr. Yost was a sweet, kind and quiet man.  He was a family man.  A good man.  I will always remember our joined family gatherings where his presence was great and of which he was an  important part.  May he rest peacefully in heaven.  God Bless all the family.  May your wonderful memories be of comfort to you and keep him close to your heart.

I have memories of Uncle Bill going back to childhood. He would always take time to talk to us kids. Most of our visits were at Grandma and Grandpa Yost’s House, but some of my memories include times when he came to visit us in Kentucky. 

We appreciated his time in the service to our country, and always loved seeing pictures of him in uniform

I know he and Mom stayed in touch with letters and phone calls. We still have all of his work on the family tree, and are thankful for that. I know my Mom and your Mom are with him now, along with all of the Yosts who have gone before. 

This is a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. We love you all, and are sending prayers, because we know all too well that this is a tough time for all of you. God bless.

Love, 
Your Kentucky Family - Kathy, David, & Lisa


What a beautiful video remembrance of your special Dad, Pop, Uncle, Friend. We knew him as Pop since that’s what the grand kids all called him. A truly sweet man who raised 3 amazing kids and showed so much love to his grandkids and in laws. He leaves a wonderful legacy. Our condolences to all the Yosts.

Always looked forward to you all coming to visit in the summer.  Uncle Bill was a wonderful man!! Glad I was able to bring Mom to see Uncle Bill a few years ago. 

I'll never forget when I actually got to meet my great Uncle Bill!  My Grannys 80th Bday party in Oakland, Maryland.  I sat at the dinner table with them, listening to their childhood stories. Great Uncle Harry, Great Uncle Mahlon, and my Granny,  Virginia June! 
Sorry for the loss. 
What a good family we came from. 
Love them all. 
Lisa Hays,  Louisville Family!
