Message: We were very taken back, with the sad news of Bill's passing. His jolly laugh and bright smile, was very contagious. We only had the pleasure of knowing him, for the last several years. However, he made a wonderful impression on us. We always looked forward to his occasional visits to our home, teasing and laughing about whatever poker or dice game we may be playing, upon his arrival.
Our deepest, most sincere sympathy to all of his family, friends, and acquaintances. He will be truly missed by many.
Sincerely,
"The Casino Crew" (as he so often referred to our bunch)

Message: Bill and Thelma,
Very sorry for your loss, Billy was one of the most happy go lucky person that I ever had to deal with. He always was smiling and never seem to be down about anything. Hopefully god has a large area that needs to be trapped for minnows etc. If you need anything or help with the many chores Billy performed let us know and we will try to help as best as we can. Thoughts and prayers with you.
