    Elsie and family, I’m sure there are no words to express the deep sorrow you are feeling today. There are many great men in this world and I can truthfully say he ranked in the top ten. He fought a long and difficult battle on this earth with his health but because of our faith in God’s Word we know today he is in the presence of Jesus. Take comfort in the fact that you will meet again. Praying for you all. Renie and Dennis Newbury

    So sorry for your tremendous loss. Bill was a very kind and gentle man. He had so much love for his family and so proud of them. Whenever, we got together, we always talked about our vehicles past and present, always a mechanic, loved tinkering with cars and bikes.. May all the good times you have shared bring you comfort at this most difficult time. Rest in peace Bill .

    Elsie, Trudy, Danny, Tammy and families. I am heartbroken. It took a long time for the news to sink in. Although I knew Bill had been sick for a long time, but because I couldn’t actually see his suffering, I just figured he would keep on, keeping on. I know he loved all of his family with all of his heart and he will be missed. My deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. I hope you find comfort in the love and support that surrounds you, and in the cherished memories you hold close to your heart. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
