Please accept my condolences with the passing of Bill. Tim, I remember your dad bringing our little league team all the cold coke we could drink after the games :-). and Dee I have memories of seeing you two in church every Sunday and thinking, those two are really in love. You and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

I’m so sorry for your loss Pat. I only met your dad a couple of times and I know he truly loved all his family. And I also know you were very close to him. Your Dad was a great guy and will be missed. Hang in there buddy.

My Heart goes out to Bill’s Family.
I so enjoyed Bill and Dee as customers they ALWAYS brighten my day.What a loss it will be. Hugs to you Dee.

I’m so sorry for your loss Delores, my easiest memory of him was shortly after you got married. He was driving Coke truck and delivering to our neighbourhood store. Even though I was only 10, he took the time to talk with a kid. He told me of your new one son called Timothy.
