Carroll – So sorry to hear the news of Bill`s passing. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. It was a pleasure and honor to know him. He was truly a gentleman.
Uncle Bill was a man of kindness, and wit, and quiet wisdom. That we haven`t had as frequent contact in recent years doesn`t diminish how much he`ll be missed. The lasting gifts he left, including my appreciation for a good old Country Boy Breakfast ” as well as important lessons about the real dangers of sleeping in too late and otherwise “idle hands” remain with me and make me smile as I write and remember him. Aunt Carroll – we love you. Karen Andy – I`m so very sorry for your loss. Your husband and father was an impressive and wonderful man. We`ll miss him very very much.”
Carroll, I am sadden for your loss and keeping you and your family in my prayers.
Carroll and Family, You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Hynes Family – I heard with great sadness that Bill passed away. I worked with him for many years at GTE on the INCA program. He always had a smile and what a smile it was! I will miss him greatly. Carroll, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I will treasure the memories of his wonderful smile.
My sincere condolences Carol, I will keep you in my prayers.
Carroll, Karen, and Andy – It is with a heavy heart that we offer our condolences. Bill was a good friend, a considerate kind person, and a thoughtful individual. We drifted apart over the years but only in the physical separation. He will always remain in our hearts.
