Bill was my oldest first cousin. I remember when I was a young teen, Bill would go to church with me at Forest Ave. Baptist Church ..He was a sweet man and I know you will miss him.
I loved this man so very much. He will be missed. After my own Daddy passed I looked forward to and enjoyed the times I got to see him because it made me feel closer to my Daddy somehow. Heavens gained another angel and what a family reunion they are having.
Lisa and family , I am so very sorry for your loss. He was the sweetest man, and he will be greatly missed. Prayers to all. ??????
Pops was one of the sweetest funniest dudes I knew. I’m so sorry for your loss, but I know he is always a part of your hearts.i love you guys so so much.
Bill worked with Glenn at Service Parts Co in Denison,Tx. He was a good christian man and served the Lord. He will be missed.
I always wondered how I would handle it when my daddy passed away, now I know. It hurts so bad, even though I know he’s happy now.
He was so miserable ever since he couldn’t be on a tractor anymore, when his physical therapist asked what his goal was, he always said to be back on a tractor again. I hope God had tractors in heaven!
