What a wonderful man. We were blessed to know him.
It’s unfortunate that I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with Bill and Nancy since we live so far apart. As a brother I have fond memories of our times growing up together in the little house in Euclid Ohio and the great times out at the farm in the annual corn roast. You’re in God’s hands now which we all will be soon all my love to you brother
Uncle bill was a very special person and loved by many,will always remember black berry pies rest in piece
Dear Nancy and family, we are so sorry for your loss. We didn’t know till this afternoon as Betty Jean saw it on Facebook. So sorry we were unable to be there for his service. If there’s anything we can do for you please don’t hesitate to call.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for the whole family. ????
I went to high school with Bill and played on the Willowick Cafe championship basketball team with him. I remember him as a great guy with a dry sense of humor. Rest in peace. Larry Kopniske
