William E. Boulton
Betty & Family- all of you are in our thoughts & prayers. I have a lot of great memories of working with Bill. Bill was not afraid to get dirty & neither was I- so we made a great pair. Memories of Bill being covered with mud after fixing water leaks(I still remember when we was fixing a leak by the old Bumper to Bumper store on Collins Road, when he was leaning on a post when it fell into the mud with him still leaning on it). One of his favorite jobs was driving the orange endloader during snow removal. One of the worst jobs we ever did was building a raft and laying pipe out into the lagoon to pump rock & debris from the outlet pipe- I think Bill enjoyed it, but I hated it. Bill was a great man & a pleasure to work with. I know he was held in high regard by my Dad and all his co-workers at the City. Take care & I'll always remember Bill & our time we spent together as co-workers. David Orr
Allow me to express my deepest condolences on the loss of your loved one. Oftentimes when we lose someone in death, it makes us wonder what happens to them when they die. Do they go to heaven or burn in a fiery hell like most people believe or are they asleep awaiting a resurrection back on earth like the Bible speaks of? (John 5:28 & 29) Psalm 37:9-11 says: For evildoers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in God are the ones that will possess the earth. 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. These questions and more are answered within your bible. I invite you to look up the quoted scriptures in your copy of the Bible to verify what you are reading. Very soon God has promised to rid the earth of death, pain and suffering. (Revelation 21:3 & 4 and he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.) Until then we must endure the sting that death leaves. I hope these few words will bring a measure of comfort to you and your family. May the God of all comfort, be with you through your time of need.
My deepest sympathies to the family. We had such a nice visit to the house in Columbus Junction when we were down for my Mom's Funeral in April. Our prayers are with you . Edward and Royce Bell (Family of Arthur R. and Frances E. Bell)
I was not ready to say good bye; however God had a different plan. I will cherish all of the memories that I have. The most memorable is washing your hair as a little girl, and walking me down the asle on my weddng day. I love you and will miss you dearly. I love you. Until we meet again.
To the family... Bill was an amazing man. I always enjoyed being around him. He had a great sense of humor. Bill might be sitting quietly, and then suddenly come out with a remark that either made you laugh, or made you think. He was the greatest example of a good husband, and a good father. He was a simple farmer, yet he was one of the greatest men of this community. I remember all of the stories about Betty's siblings going out to the farm when they were young, and I know the stories of the summer gatherings, and the winter sledding, etc. The farm appeared to be a very welcoming place! I am sorry that I haven't seen him in the past few years. I did think of him... and do still think of Betty... but did not know if I should just "drop in" on them. Bill leaves a beautiful legacy in his children, wife, and grandchildren. I know he has many, many friends as well, and he will be deeply missed. "God speed Bill." Our condolences, The Tim Hills family
Gayle, Tasha and Big Ron, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Even though I did not know your father/grandfather, he had to have been a great man because of the way you guys turned out. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Karen
