To Bill's family, I am sorry for the loss of such a great man. While I was only in his presence probably 10-12 days of my entire life, I have some great memories of him. He taught me what real food is, and that it could taste amazing! He was such a kind gentle man, who loved to laugh and have a good time. And if you were there on that memorable weekend in West Virginia, you will always remember how sure he was that COMBINE, the racing dog, was going to win the sixth race!

We miss you Bill! But we know you are smiling and happy, free of life’s pain and anguishes.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I’m so thankful for the time we had together he was always doing his best to be there when he was needed and giving us great stories about family at the reunions and he made the best rhubarb pie and was a big hit for the auction 🙏💕

Bill was one of a kind. His attitude was always positive even if he was in extreme pain, which he was most of the time. If we could pick one friend for all our lives it would surely be Shep. I'm betting he's up in heaven sitting on a green tractor, smiling. from his fellow Seabees.
