  2. I have known Bill since 2017 when he welcomed me into KWVA Chapter 314 family. He mentored me for all the positions and eventually to the National Director. Yesterday was bittersweet as my two adopted Dad’s passed away within hours of each other and I’m sure that they are talking about how they both served in Korea and their connections with me. Until we meet again! Donations can be sent to POB 201, Enka, NC 28792. Thanks, Dad.

  3. Kathy, Doug, Danny, and family- My thoughts and prayers go with you all! Mr. Bill and Ms. Beverly were both amazing people, and they were generous with their entire beings. I know that Suzie and Tim are glad to be with them- but that it will leave an empty space until you are all reunited again. Suzie was the best kind of friend that anyone could have asked for, and she loved Mr. Bill as much as any girl may have ever loved her Dad. You all have meant so very much in my life, and I know that Mr. Bill’s words and his love for his family will be with you to give you comfort and strength in the future. Sending much love, and prayers for comfort.

  5. We are so sorry to learn of Bill’s passing. Although we have not seen him in several years, we remember him as a humble man who led an incredibly interesting life that he rarely spoke of. His patriotism and devotion to God and Country were endless and steadfast. May his soul be received by Heaven and his memory be a blessing to all who knew him and were blessed to call him friend.

  8. Dear Kathie,
    I just read that your father has passed away. I want to express our sincere condolences to you and your family. You were our babysitter for our boys, Brian and Van many years ago. I just trimmed our Christmas tree and hung two ornaments you made with them when they were very young. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. Sincerely, Bill, Betsy, Brian and Van Smith
