“remembered for his service to others” that is the truth. I will always be grateful for getting to know Billy these past six years. His hug he gave me while telling me, “I’m glad you are back” will always be in the forefront of my mind. I will continue to pass on the knowledge I gleaned from him.
Condolences to the family. He was a big man with an even bigger heart.
To Michael and Morgan and the rest of the family. God bless and I hope you can always remember those seen moments. Aunt Jody

I know for a fact, Bill is proud of his two kids. Billy and Dalene, I’m sorry for your loss. God bless and keep you.
Since Bill was two grades ahead of me I remember him as one of the big kids in the neighborhood,
at Bancroft Elementary and Paseo High.
Bill will be remembered in high esteem.
I played football with Bill at Paseo, he was varsity starter and I was JV, he was hard to tackle, and I do remember he was always a good guy. Gone too soon.
Sorry for your loss Billy
Much care and love and condolences to you Billy and Daylene.so sorry for your loss of your father. It is not an easy process or time to get through…again sorry for the loss of someone you all loved.
Sorry to hear of the passing of Billy. He was a truly great guy and one of my oldest friends. We went to grade school (Bancroft) and high school (Paseo) together; graduating class of ’64. I would sometimes make it a point to visit with him when I was at AG on business. Condolences to the family. RIP, Billy.
By his positive attitude and good example, Billy helped me change my life for the better at a particular dark crossroads. No doubt he will be missed by many, but I have no doubt that I will miss him as well. Requiescat in Pace. Semper Fidelis.
