Extending our sympathies to all of you on behalf of your father-Bill. During his final days we had the priveledge of getting to know him due to him living across the hall from me. He enjoyed the simple things in life, but he also possessed a sense of humor which was great to be around. There will always be reminders of him here in this house in wonderful ways, but also a reminder of Mike and JoAnn for housing their father in a time of need in which he was grateful.

A proud,complex man that struggled with his own demons for most of his adult life, my father is in a better place now. I’ll remember the good moments, and his skills as a craftsman. The memorial service sounded wonderful, and fitting considering his sacrifices and contributions to Country.
