My sincerest sympathy to Linda and and the kids… I have spent a lot of time visiting with Bill the past few years… he was always good company – he knew a lot about many subjects… he taught me everything I know about auto mechanics – for instance, a few weeks ago I changed the disc brakes on his truck. I had never done anything like that before, but with his guidance the job was finished quickly. He was a good friend and I will miss him very much…
family of Bill, sorry to hear of your loss .Bill and I worked in jaycees together and he helped me get elected to Brooke Board of Educ. I will always treasure his friendship . My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Jerry Hamill

Linda and family, I will miss Bill always! He was such a great support to me during some difficult times in my life. I really cherished talking to him – he was a good listener and I loved to hear him laugh. The amount of love and pride he felt for you and his family could never be measured. It was a joy to hear him brag about all of you. I thank God for blessing me with Bill’s friendship.
To Linda and family, Please accept with deepest sympathy the heartfelt thought that there is hope in each new tomorrow. May God bless and watch over you now and in the days to come.

Dear Linda, You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Bill was such a kind and decent man. I’ll always remember working next door to him at the MAB and his jokes and wonderful sense of humor. Linda, you and his daughters meant the world to him.
