Dearest Bill, 
I will never forget your wonderful personality, your awesome sense of humor and the love you had for my dear childhood friend. You never complained about anything including your illness. You laugh was infectious..your smile incredable. Thank you so much for caring for someone you never met. I will always try to live up to your kindness. I just know you really deep down loved the packers.I will forever treasure my visit with you and Karen. You know it changed my life. Look down from the right hand of God and help me see, as you always did, the wonders of this beautiful place we call our earthly home. I look forward to meeting again. We will toast a drink together. Send Karen a healing heart with your love

Bill, You'll never be forgotten.  I'll cherish all the fun times we had together, going to concerts, out to dinner, or just hanging out on the patio smoking and joking. You were my friend and confidant, and  I'll sorely miss your cheerful attitude and funny whit. The way you handled your illness amazed me. I never heard you complain.  I pray you're in a much better place now.  Love, Jan

Mr. Biill-John  & I always appreciated your love of the Dolphins & intolerance of the Packers.We will miss you forever..Lots of Love John & Jill Howard

We will miss your smiling face, your goofy puns, and our mutual love of trivia and music. Fly high, our friend. You are a rock star.

Big love,

bill donna and i only knew you a short time but we will miss your wit and genuine personalty even though you were a dolphin fan first and packer fan second we plan on seeing you again

When in high school and college days...Bill was that genuine friend, who always brought an enthusiasm and a humorous slant on life that I treasured and learned from. I will never forget our first trip to the Indy 500 as kids...weekends at Elkhart Lake and poker parties where Bill would blast his newest music find LPs. You will always be remembered and cherished as a great friend. I know you are in the arms of the Good Shepard...where we will meet again. Jeff Meier, St. Mary class of '67.

Dear Sue,

Our thoughts  are with you & your family.

Bill never ceased to amaze me with his intelligence and sense of humor.  He was a great person and he taught me so much.  I will miss you, my friend.

Bill will be dearly missed he was a wonderful man to work with and always pleasant to be around.  He touched many of peoples lives just as he touched mine.  Lou Folmar

Bill was a very special witty person who I was lucky enough to call friend. I met Karen and Bill at a Packer bar and we became instant friends and that was 23 years ago. However, Bill would never forget to remind me that he was a Dolphin fan first. RIP my dear friend. I know you are in a much better place and rid of that awful disease now. You will always be in my heart. Jean VanWagenen

It will be hard to say goodbye to a good friend. May you rest in peace and as always, Go Pack Go.
