Bill was such a kind friend; he was there for me through some very tough times. We had some crazy fun times together too! I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to tell him so, and to let him know what a great friend he was, and to visit him in those final weeks of his life. He may have been stoic in many ways, but we understood each other. Rest in Love Billy, you deserve to! % Native trees are donated in Bills memory.

It´s hard to find the right words to say goodbye to someone as kind and gentle as Bill. He was a truly good friend-always there with a warm smile, a listening ear, and a heart full of kindness. His presence brought comfort, laughter, and light to those lucky enough to know him.

Bill had a way of making the world feel a little softer, a little kinder, just by being in it. He cared deeply and left an imprint on the hearts of so many.

I´m sure that when we hear a dad joke we will think of Bill.

Rest peacefully, Bill. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
