We had the pleasure of knowing Bill and his wife Pat for the past 20 years. They were both wonderful and generous friends. We worked with Bill at MCI for ten years. Our children grew up with Bill and Pat, and they became like an Aunt and Uncle to them. Bill and Pat taught them about birds and the proper bird seeds to feed them. Due to their influence, our son continues to feed birds at his home. We'll always remember and miss his laughter, stories and advice. We know Bill is in a better place, enjoying Pat's company again, but we'll miss them both.

Bill, his wife Pat and my wife and I were friends for over 25 years. We shared many laughs doing various car things, traveling and enjoying good food. They had a huge impact on us and we will be forever honored for their friendship.

Bill and I had been friends since high school.We stayed in touch, sometimes only at Xmas, but nevertheless, we stayed in touch. He was a gentleman through and through. His mom and grandmother and my mom were very close friends. He was "family". RIP, Bill.

If Bill was your friend you had a real example of what a friend should be.

If Bill was your friend you really came to know what a best friend was. I loved him like the brother I never had. Pat was the perfect match in a mate for him. Great people.

Bill was always gracious and kind to me, the younger brother of his deceased wife. I used to live in Garden City, KS and would often make the drive to Colo Spgs for a weekend of R&R with my sister and Bill. Many fond memories.

Thank you Bill & Pat.
