No matter what the situation, Bill always had a smile. He was the reason I volunteered at the Grange, and I'm a better person because of our special relationship. Bill was ione of the kindest people in the world, and always had something niice to say. My heart goes out to Ivy and his family. Bill, you WILL be missed because you were so loved.

Love you Uncle Bill! You are one of a kind. I will never forget our times together. Your words of wisdom.....even your jokes. Biggest memory was when i was lost on that 20 mile bike route in California and you came and rescued me. I was so scared and seeing u was a relief. U will always hold a special place in my heart. U will be missed by many. In the meantime....keep my momma company in heaven. Xoxoxoxoxo

Bill was a great friend with a huge heart. I worked with Bill for years on Tosco's Safety program and we forged many innovative training programs under his leadership. He was always quick to laugh and saw the best in people. He was a dedicated professional with a unique vision that always had a positive direction and outcome. He trained so many and was always truly concerned that each worker go home safely every night. Rest in peace my friend and give me a kick whenever you see fit. I will keep you in my heart!
