I miss you Dad. I wish you were still here with us but I know you aren’t in pain anymore. Thank you for all you ever did for me & my boys. We all love you very much. Your step-daughter, Dotty
He will be missed for he and David Weaver became good buddies during their time together. I was/am so thankful for he & Aunt Mildred looking after Dad’s house after his passing (3/16/2015)when I was not there… Mr. Bill & David looked over the houses with a watchful eye..He was a good, caring man… RIP Mr. Bill… I will miss our chats thru the woods…

Mildred, I was so sorry to read about Bill’s passing. I think of both of you often, especially when we go to the camper. We bought your camper at Outdoor Resorts. Bill & Martha Warren
