Our condolences to Janet and Bill's entire family.  Bill was our neighbor behind us in East Lansing.  We talked a great deal over the back fence.  He was always very friendly and had a lot of stories.  He was also very generous in helping us with gardening issues and also helped us carrying wood and other chores.  We always thought he was the best neighbor a family could have.

I went to high school with Bill and he was my neighbor in Okemos. We played pick up basketball with Bill and friends. It is with a very heavy heart to hear about Bill’s passing. I wish all his family members the best though these sorrowful times. My wife, Kathy just recently lost her brother so we know the sorrow of a close friend who has passed away. Bill was a super guy and close friend through high school. 

I'm very sorry to hear of Bill's passing.  I was a student at the Michigan school for the blind.  Bill was very friendly and would stop what he was doing to talk to me whenever he saw me.  My condolence to Janet and family.

Dear Janet , Debra and Jane,  I was sorry to learn of Bill's passing.  He was such a kind, friendly, generous and cheerful man who always had a ready smile.  I know that my ex-husband's family really valued Bill's help on Saturdays  in the early '80s helping to take care of their father, Rolly Stebbins, who had dementia.  
I wish you peace and comfort, and may happy memories remind you of the joy you shared in a life well lived.

Our sympathy and prayers to Janet and family members.  From the time Inez and I first met Bill in 1967, while he and I  were working together in cucumber research at MSU, until today  it has been an honor for us to have been able to have considered him a friend.   Bill had a witty sense of humor and was never at a loss for great thoughts about a variety of topics.  He truly was an active outdoorsman who really knew where to find the fish and what lure it took to land them.  May Bill's days be forever filled with a full creel each and every day.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

I went to Okemos elementary & high school with Bill (I called him Billy).   We worked on class reunions together and after he retired, he helped me with the flowers around my home and office.  We had never had such beautiful flowers.  There could not be a more kind, caring man than Billy.   He loved his family so much.  May he Rest In Peace.  

My deep sympathy to you at this time. I have many nice memories from People's church of your family and will remember you all in my prayers. 
Sincerely, 
Amy Rockford-Hale

I've known Mr. Woolsey most of my life, having been friends with Deb and Jane since middle school.  There are very few men I've met who could compete with my own dad in terms of kindness and decency, but Mr. Woolsey exuded both of those traits in spades - he was really special.  My heart goes out to Mrs. Woolsey, Deb, Jane, and the whole family.
