Bill Yokum What can I say, He was a Good Man, I worked for him and he was a Mentor to me. Mike & Shelly, Bill lives in you in spirit. Remember his strength, also remember his compassion.

I am very sorry that I did not know Billy better, but from all the comments he must have been a truly loving and outstanding person.  I always felt a relation because we were the three eldest sons of the three brothers (Billy-Bill, Jimmy-Jim, Tom-John).  Our love to all, especially Corky.
Tom and Shellie

To the family of Bill and Debbie.

Longtime Nabisco friends, and that means FRIENDS, of Bill and Debbie.  Enjoyed so much hard work and good times with these two.  Just special friends for so many years.
  
Our sympathies,
Claude and Mary Ann McColpin

Bill and Debbie always had a helping hand and a quick wit.  We enjoyed many special times with them over the years as well as the many years of friendship and memories created by Mike and Todd. Bill was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, and though you have just sustained a big loss, it will give you great solace and comfort in remembering the person Bill was to his family, friends and co-workers.  Our deepest sympathy to all.  Nona and Charles Hoyer

Bill was a kind and generous soul, as was his wife Debbie, whom we still miss. His optimistic character touched the lives of many. Our sincerest condolences to his family, especially his children and grandchildren. The Griffin-Garcías

Mike and Erica, Your parents were so kind to me when I needed support.  They made me feel so welcome.  Thanksgiving day was a special treat, and the fact that he and you, Mike, did all the preparations for the food was a new and pleasant tradition.  Although I only saw them a few times, they made a tremendous impact and I miss them already.  
May your memories of your parents' genuine love comfort you always.  An excerpt from Helen Reiner states:  The Lord had a need for a special angel, so he took your dear parents above.  But they are only as far away as your heart, and they live as before in your love.  God bless you and your beautiful family.  Love, Mindy

I remember the fun times in Houston with Joe Shackett, Bill, and me.  We also had fun at other gatherings with NBC people from the Houston branch.  Bill will be missed.

Dear Grandpa,
I love you so much and i am going to miss you dearly..
Love Trey

I read this and although I did not know your father, I am sending this to the family:
"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."

May his memory become a small part of our history, and live on for ever.

Mile and Erica Our Condolences to you and your family.

I have many memories of our younger years and the fun Jim, Randy, and I had visiting you both at the lake, cooking out, looking for your first boat, card games, and just plain good visits. Heaven won't be the same with you, Debbie, and Jim up there at the same time. Would like to be a fly on the wall. Love you, Shirley

I love you dearly, Dad. You will be missed by everyone, but will always remain in our hearts and prayers. It brings me comfort to know that you are now with Mom again.

Bill will be missed dearly.  He always had that genuine smile that warmed your heart.  He was a great father figure to everyone who needed him.  He is now in Heaven with his beautiful wife, Debbie joined together once again forever.

Grampa I love you and I am going to miss you.

Dad, thanks for all you did for everyone. You will be missed but we all know you are in a better place with mom. You made me the man that I am today. I owe it all to you!!! I love you and will miss you dearly. Take care of mom, I know she will make you feel comfortable.
