Aunt Huguette, I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's death. Mom always spoke of Bill with great kindness and respect, and you as well. It was always a pleasure to meet with you when you were visiting in Vernon Center with Barny and Peg. I remember fun times with Joannie and Boo . I was friends with Carol on Facebook and caught up with her for a few years there. I have been praying for your health and healing as well as God's peace that passes our understanding in this time of grief. Love, Sue Baker Palmer

Bill was a great leader by example and a patriot who always cared about veterans. A wonderful mentor to both me and my wife while we followed him in the Veterans Service Office.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers go out to you and your family. I always enjoyed visiting with both of you at church. And Mother did too. You two were always so kind and attentive to her. My husband and I treasure the plane he carved for us. So glad we have it to remember him by.
