I am so sorry to hear of Billy’s passing. My love to your family as I know this is a huge loss for you. He was such a great man and my dad, Larry Dill, thought very highly of him. There are several of your dad’s wood carvings in mom’s house still and I have a beautiful one in my garden he sent me in memory of my dad. Much love to you guys.

Nothing but fond memories of Uncle Bill. Sending light and love to you all.
Great times are for remembering. Since we lived across the street from one another Bill and I stood in the middle of the street and solved a lot of the world’s problems. We also spent a lot of time discussing scripture. I’m so glad I know that Bill is now with our Lord. God bless you Ann. Phil & Conny
