Bill was great to my family in Colorado and also to us. He was concerned about my daughter Kendall and we had many great Facebook chats about sports. I never personally met Bill, but felt as if I had. Thinking of you and your family.

Bill was a delightful, charismatic and humorous chap who will be sadly missed by many. Why was Bill chosen to leave us so soon? Life often leaves us with questions, many left unanswered.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. May solace be found in memories and peace be found in time.
