I want to express my condolences for Bill's family. I was sorry to hear about his illness, and yet did not expect him to be taken so soon. May you all find God's peace at this sad time.

Uncle Billy was a great guy and he will be sadly missed. Although I hadn't seen him often after I joined the Air Force, whenever I did, it was always a good time. I send my condolences to his family and friends who will miss him the most. I pray his passing will be the catalyst for closer family relationships and for leaving the past where it belongs...in the past. Rest in peace Uncle Billy, I miss you already.
