Hey Bill I love you and I miss you so much. Today is 5 years and it seems like just yesterday. My heart will always feel so empty without you. Missing you.

Bill. Bill, what can I say? Weird how you lose contact with childhood friends as we grow into adults. Then one day (which is today for me) you find that childhood friend is gone forever. I met Bill when we both lived at Wind Tree Village apartments in Phoenix. We were probably 8 or 9 years old.  We became best friends and related to each other because we were growing up in similar family situations. Bill was very playful, we used to ride bicycles together, play video games together, go hiking with Frances and shared many boyhood dreams and "Goosebumps" adventures. Bill loved the books "Goosebumps" and we would act out scenes from the books that we enjoyed. 

One memory that I will always cherish. Bill and I created an obstacle course that we created when we lived at Wind Tree Village apartments. We called it - "THE WALL" - It consisted of walking along the top of concrete barrier wall that separated the other apartments that were next to Wind Tree Village. We would start at one end of "the wall" and walk/crawl/climb/ whatever it took to stay on "the wall" and not touch the ground until we made to the end. It was so fun! Bill and I used to show it to other kids in the apartment complex. I have so many memories with Bill at his early years. I looked up to Bill. He was strong, disciplined, and caring, even at an early age. 

Funny that we used to live at the same apartment complex as a kids. As teenagers and early adults, we also lived in the same place at Belaire Manor in Glendale. We also worked together at UPS for many years. Bill was always there to lend a hand with handyman work or help you with vehicle problems. I will always consider you my big brother, and that is a great feeling to have. Wish we stayed in contact a little better as we became older adults. I hope your family is at peace. You will forever be lived on through memories and your family! You will be forever missed. Give Mittens a big hug for me.

The anniversary of your passing is coming soon and I miss you like it was yesterday I wish you would come home the kids and I miss you so much. We love you and we need you. This was our wedding photo one of the memories I will always hold. Love you forever - Vanessa 

William, was our best UPS driver ever.  He was very shy, we did not know much about him, only his name.  When we did ask what his name was, we renamed him to Prince William.  

We miss his shyness, voice and smile so much.  May he rest in peace.

Family of Prince William, we are so sorry for your tremendous loss.

I remember Bill in my first math and science classes at Montebello School (7th & 8th grade). It was a great honor to have been his teacher.  He was very gifted in both of these subjects. I am so sorry to hear of his passing so soon. My prayers are with his family, especially his children. May you draw strength from the Lord and look to Him for salvation in Christ alone. 

I remember bill from Montebello Elementary school. He was popular there, and he was liked by everyone. He was a cool kid. Rest in Paradise bill... My condolences to his family.


Rest in heaven!! It was a pleasure working with you at UPS. My condolences to the family.

Bill, Vanessa and the boys came to visit me and Grandma Margie when the boys were little. I knew then that Bill was and always would be a good father, he was. I pray that the Lord will comfort the family with His loving peace.

My superman!!!  Such a hard worker!!!     Generous!!!  Awesome son!!!   The best friend I have ever had!!!   He was always there when I needed him!!!  Can't wait to see you again!!!  

God bless you Will. We will miss you fiercely at UPS. My wish for you is that you find eternal peace. God's speed  

Bill, I remember so many memories together. From sharing birthday's together, family Christmas at Grandma Nancy's house, to playing video games and enjoying silly shows. We were very close as kids and you always were very special to me. I will always cherish our memories together and I'm still in shock that you're gone. Till we meet again Bill!! I love you!! 

Im a ups driver, I started September 2016, I remember my 1st day of work Will and I ran into each other & right away I noticed he had a mustache just like me. Not many UPSers had mustaches :) From then on he was the guy I would go to for advice at work . He was a friendly, chill, humble, funny hard working man.  Even when I  transferred to another center we would still chat on the way in to work. I would come in with my lunch bag, backpack, and water jug . Will would only have an empty Qt cup for water :) R.I.P. Will you will be truly missed. 


      Hey brown buddy...  Will thank you for helping me when I made the transition to my new job... you gave me great advice and reassured me that I was going to like it .. and of course I did !! I made it ! 
     I will always remember your fresh hair cuts and laughter you were always a cool guy to talk to and be around, hope you find your way up to heaven my friend... till we meet agian

My love I have loved you for twenty years and my love will never stop.  You are the only love of my life and our kids are so blessed to have you as their father. You had such a beautiful soul and now God has called you into his arms. I pray that you protect us and watch over us as we continue this path but we will meet again in Heaven. I love you ❤️ 

My young friend it's sad to hear about your passing.  The few years that we spent close in camaraderie was awesome teaching you about the automotive mechanic trade was like having a brother that shared the passion.  Rest in peace.
