Justin, Kate, Kathrine, Amelia, and Eli, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Bill. He was more then just a friend, he was a part of the family. I will miss him every day. There are too many memories to pick out just one that I cherish more then others.One of my favorite memories with him was when he, Maun and I would go out on Friday nights to Longbranch for dinner. Every one of those nights were wonderful times.
So sorry for your loss, Justin and Katherine. He was my neighbor and always happy to see my little dog, Davis, and myself. I miss seeing he and Merle walking past my home each morning. He was such a kind hearted man. Always offered a happy 'hello'. He spoke lovingly of his family. It was easy to hear his pride and love of you guys. I miss him and am truly sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Joann Whitworth
Bill and I worked together for many years with the C.LLoyd Johnson Co. I was working overseas in Germany most of those years, but was able to see Bill during our sales meetings and regional manager meetings. Bill was always a very happy person, and I will always remember, that even though most called me Doug, Bill always called me Douglas. Back then only my mother called me Douglas. And Bill, too. Rest in peace William. Say hello to Dad if you happen to be around a lunch table. Roy passed just this past Sunday. You might see Mary Peele there, as well. She passed about two weeks ago. A little CLJ reunion.

Justin and Kathyn, I am sorry for your loss. Your dad was a good guy. My most vivid memory of him is when he was driving. It felt like 100mph in and out of lanes. Terrifying experience. But I guess he drove fast so he could get from LA to Detroit in 24 hours so he could see your mom. Vicki
I worked with Bill for many years. We were close friends, had lunch together everyday and got together socially as well. We lost contact after he moved to Florida, even though I tried on numerous occasions to get in touch. We were good friends and I have really missed him
He was very proud of his children, and I'm sure he has really enjoyed the grandchildren
I will carry my memories until we meet in our heavenly home.
Bill was my dear friend as well as my neighbor. For the past five years, Bill and I walked our dogs, Merle and Charlie, along the trails together almost every day. Bill was a man who shared his faith with all who met him. We had many interesting conversations on our walks. I will cherish the memories I have of the times we spent sharing so many past experiences we both had. Bill loved Merle as much as his family. Merle was his immediate family. My life is much richer because I was blessed to get to know Bill. My condolences to Justin and Katherine. Bill was so proud of you both. Marcia Marwede
