I'm going to miss bumping into "Junior" in different places. He was always sociable, friendly, and a funny guy. Bless you Bill, and rest in peace.

BRUCE AND FAMILY,

JUST A SHORT NOTE TO SAY GOODBYE TO A WONDERFUL MAN. EVERY FRIDAY HE WOULD BRING US A TREAT, COOKIES, PIE, CAKE ETC. HE WOULD CALL IT OUR "FRIDAY FIX". HE NEVER FORGOT US, AND WE WILL NEVER FORGET HIM. LOVE TO THE FAMILY,

MARTHA, ANITA, AND GLORIA

XOXOXO

My Good Friend Bill, I will miss him. I have missed him these last months while he was ill. The Wheel of Fortune is never going to be the same. That game brought him into my life and made it that much richer. Our gang isn't going to be the same. As Mary Ann said, that sense of humor will really be missed. Bill was my Pal and I'm very sad that he's not going to be around to talk to.

Thanks for the many trips, shows, and get togethers you put together for the group - we will truly miss you and your wacky sense of humor!
