Sorry for you families loss. I always remember him delivering fuel when we were kids in Wyanet and he would always have candy for us it was the highlight of our day!
Uncle Bill was a good man. Our sympathy to Carolyn, Mitch, Shelia, Dana and Brad.
For many years Bill’s workday started at our house. I loved those days of visiting, not just about the workday ahead but about last night’s game or something funny a customer had said. Always loved and respected Bill. My condolences.
Our thoughts and prayers to you all. So many memories of Bill, his stories and most of all that huge smile he always seemed to have. Rest In Peace
Many memories of Bill starting when he drove the sports practice bus and he took a detour to show me the village of Dingley. Sincere condolences, cherish the memories.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
