It is so difficult to accept that I will never see Bill's smiling face again...so very, very sad.  We were part of the SOCH family for so many years and he was just always there in some role or other, always with a smile and hello for everyone.  Prayers for you and your family.  Those of us who were part of the SOCH family will never forget Bill.

Dear Penny:  I am very sad to hear of your loss.  Please accept my most sincere condolences.  You and your family are in my thoughts and in my prayers.  I had the opportunity to work with Bill at SOCH and will remember him fondly.

Penny & family, 
Thinking of you at this difficult time of sorrow. May you find comfort in your memories.
With sympathy,

Penny,  Bill will be greatly missed by everyone.  He was a warm and caring man. Although John was his father's cousin, I never met him until we had dinner with you guys.  He was so friendly and I liked him immediately.  We corresponded frequently via e-mail and I will miss hearing from him. Take care of yourself and know that our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family at this time. Dottie & John Conner (Las Vegas, NV)

Such sadness for anyone who had Bill in our lives, even for a short time and long ago.  I have such fond memories of working with Bill on 3-11.  He was funny and sweet but most of all I remember his compassion. and all the cute old ladies just adored having him as their nurse.  Nurses know that you just need a man for some things.  I count myself blessed that he was in my work life .  We were young and happy and made up the SOCH family at the time.The memories are priceless.  Prays for you and the kids, Penny.

So sorry to hear of Bill's to soon passing. He was a wonderful nurse, and an all around great guy...Many memories..will never forget his smile and his laugh. .Many Sympathies...
