WE ALWAYS KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME,

Dear Jean and family, Even though we have not seen you in a long time we have fond memories of Bill from high school and when he was best man at our wedding 57 years ago. We always enjoyed being with you and when our kids played together when they were little. We send you our sincerest sympathy and our prayers are with you.

For the passed nine years we worked side by side. You were always there to talk to and give words of wisdom filled with thoughtfulness, care and love. You inspired us and made us laugh with your great sense of humor. You gave us guidance and cheerfulness and you seemed to always know what to say or knew how we felt when times were tough. It was always such a treat to go down memory lane, back to our junior high school days at South Jr. on S. Nevada. Although you, Karen and I went there at different times, many years ago, we shared similar stories of the street wise kids we had to be. Even back then it was a tough neighborhood. We miss you Bill and your memory will last forever in our hearts. May God bless your family as they are in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace dear friend.

In the plan of God, a friendship is a touch of heaven on earth. And we can all bring a touch of heaven into someone's life. Bill was a good friend.
