The world lost a good man this week. Bill West was a special man that I personally thought a lot of. He was always kind and he was very enjoyable to visit with. I loved to hear him talk of days gone by and I will miss him. I will never forget his example in taking care of his wife. His example encouraged me when my wife was so sick. I also will never forget and will always be thankful for both of their kindness to my grandma, Rose Belk. They was extra good to her and the family still talks about it to this day. God blessed him with a long life and I am glad that he did. The family will be in my prayers in the coming days, weeks and months.
Sincerely,
Dale Collins

Jim, Joan and your family,
It was such a pleasure knowing and working with your Dad. He had worked at ConwayCorp 5 years when I began in 1961. We worked together 26 of his 31 years there but it only took a few minutes to know what kind of person he was. One of the finest, most respectable I have ever met.
You are fortunate he lived a good long life and was able to make many wonderful memories with so many friends and family. I pray this will bring you comfort in the days to come. May God Bless you all.

So sorry that I am out of town and cannot attend Uncle Bill's service. I have many wonderful memories of visiting him and Aunt Marie when I was a child. I use to love it when he would show us the jail. He would threaten to lock us in, but we always made it safely back to mama in the apartment. Prayers and love!
