I'm sorry to hear of your family's loss. I know how much Bill cared about his son and daughter, and felt pride in their successes. My sympathy to all of you, especially to son Bill.

Besides being friendly to all, and a nice person, Bill was truly a "good person". He always did what he believed was the right thing to do. He cared first and foremost about his children. No one could ever take that #1 spot in his heart. Bill was thoughtful, funny, kind, honest, generous, fun-loving, and surprisingly, a great cook. I loved him, and will miss him every day.

Lorie Hilton let us know and we got in touch with Graham. So sorry, such a surprise. One is never ready for these things,... but time does make it soften. My thoughts are with you. Calvin people often ask about you and Carrie. I think about your father too. My grandmother had a hard time when my father passed away. The Calvin family will send alot of prayers your way.

To Bill's Family.

We would like to express our deepest condolances. Bill was a fun, loving, and caring person. He will be missed by many. I remember the time when a bunch of us went snowmobiling in Wisconsin that was one awesome time. Bill was the leader of our snowmobile pack. Bill will always be in our hearts as he will not be forgotton. May God give you strength through the times ahead to carry on where Bill has left off.

I will always remember Bill's smile and friendliness throughout all the many years I knew him in the E.D. at LGH. It was an honor to know him and an unbelievable shock and loss to hear of his passing. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him and thought so highly of him. May he rest in peace and may his children and family know the friends he had are thinking about them.
