My sincerest condolences to the members of Bill’s family. I have know Bill (uncle Bill) since I was a little girl. Bill was good friends with my Father and older brothers. He used to take my Dad and brother fishing in his boat and hunting with his dog. He was very much loved. He took care of many of my family members at the funeral home over the years. He was a workaholic. I wish he would have retired a lot sooner so he could of enjoyed a lot more of his life. He was a very caring and giving man. He helped many people over the years. God Bless you Uncle Bill and may God forever hold you in his arms.
Love & Light,
Josie Ferro-Magistro
You will be missed good friend, Jim & Andrea
Bill was a dear friend for many years! We lived in two of his mortuaries while John attended Dental School Creighton university. So glad that John and I got to visit with Bill for several days a couple years ago. His site was almost gone then, but not his spunk!!!
Bill was a great guy. I used to see him every summer while vacationing in Omaha.We always enjoyed visits with Bill and is mom. May he rest in peace
My cousin Jenelle Sellers, Bill’s Step Father, wrote a wonderful eulogy. May Bill’s soul rest in peace. The video’s of the rosary and services provided was wonderful to view. We are sorry we are unable to attend in person. Bill and Jan O’Brien and Family.
REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND
LOVE ALWAYS
It has been a year, Bill. I am sure you and mom are enjoying eternity together.
