Mrs. Young and Family:
Bill and I attended graduate school together at the University of Minnesota. He was very smart and insightful; we shared alot together in various classes we took. With the St. Paul Public Schools, Bill was an execellent guidance counselor, directly assisting more than 20,000 students to be goal oriented over the years. Along with assisting all students, he was extremely suuportive of students-of-color. He was very dear friend of mine. He will be solely missed. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy for your lost. Bill will always be in my thoughts. Bill was a good caring man.

Hilda, Bill, Deb and Lori~
There are not enough words to describe what an amazing man Bill was. He was without a doubt the nicest man I've ever had the honor of meeting. I will always remember how he always so unselfishly gave to others, and how he genuinely cared for everyone. I've always admired Bill (and Hilda) for their genuine acts of kindness. I just know my mom was there to greet him, and they are now chatting away!
I'm so deeply sorry! My heart goes out to each of you. Please know you are in my most heartfelt prayers as you go though this most difficult time.

Hilda, I am so sorry to hear of the death of Bill. I had no idea he was sick as he seemed just like his old self when I saw him in church when I was in Minnesota in November and December. I will keep you and the children in my prayers.
