sometimes things happen to people that don't deserve it. Bill did not deserve this, he was such a great man, friend, father, husband, and grandfather. All he wanted was to see his grandson, wish he would have been there to see him grow. We will miss him forever <3

Bill was one of my pals from when we were kids in Mt. Greenwood. I remember how his laugh could crack everyone up and I con't forget how he would break into his dance imitation of James Brown every time he heard one of his songs.

He was always a class act and I shall miss him!!
