To me Bill was a life long friend... I knew him for at lest 17 years and wish that are freindship could have lasted much longer. He was one of the few people that I always knew I could trust! When I remember Bill I will always see him as a Good Man, a Great Father and a True Friend! I feel blessed to have known him as long as I did. I know that Bill is in a better place... So now to me he'll live forever in the hearts and minds of all his family and friends.

Love Always,

Deforest n Donna Wilkes Sr.
