My thoughts and prayers are with you as you begin this path of living without your precious Bill. It is sometimes overwhelming and the grief almost unbearable. That is when you must "lift your eyes to the hills" and keep your focus on Christ.
Jesus will be there, with you, every step of the walk. Does the grief ever truly go away? No, but it changes. May you all find peace in the arms of our Lord.

The RHS Class of 1963 had a lot of good guys and the one word I would use to describe Bill would be "character".  You just never knew what he was going to come up with next.  Sympathies.

I worked with Bill for a long time at Honda. He was a very personable and easy going guy. I’m truly saddened by his passing and offer my sincerest and deepest condolences to the family.
As Bill was a Marine, in addition to any military honor guard, the Patriot Guard can stand flag line and offer his final salute.
If the family would like the Patriot Guard, have Bill’s DD214 ready (copy) and let me know via email.

My deepest condolences to Bill's family. My husband Bob and I worked with him at TODCO.  He was a dedicated, very hard worker, and also one of the most fun guys we have ever known.  I have thought of him thru the years as I thought of that first job at TODCO.  It was a great place to work, and Bill is right up there with all those great memories.  Rest in peace you sweet, funny man.
