I remember Bill and how friendly he was to everyone in the old neighborhood on Carter Street. We lived up the hill at 317 and your 3 daughters and my 3 kids (Scott, Missy & Shaun) were very close in age, though I don't think they played together a lot. What a great neighborhood it was to raise a family, though! I was so sorry to hear of your family's loss.

Karon and family, So sorry to hear of Bill's death! He was always my favorite cousin, we grew up in a simpler time when you got together with family almost every week for a meal. As a" little kid", five+ years younger than he, I spent lots of time waiting for him to get done watching TV sports on Sunday afternoon so he would play checkers or some other game with me :). He started our family cousin reunion so many years ago and rarely missed attending it! I will sure miss him... Prayers for all of you.

Karon Bill will be sorely missed by all, I remember back when we used to talk about all kinds of sports (Bears & Cubs) It was nice to know that he would help Cathy sometimes, she was very upset when she saw him... I was just thinking about him not to long ago, wondering how everyone was doing. Our prayers are with you and your family. Diana

Wow, where do I start. I was so shocked to see Bill had past. He was one of my first softball coaches with the Cedar Hills Booster Club in the 70s. We reconnected when he was an umpire for my stepdaughter in the 1990s-2000. Reconnecting again when he walked in the door of the salon I was at in Cedar Hills. What a previlage to cut Bills hair. Never got to cut it all, just what stuck out under that ball cap glued to his head. Lol lol never seen a man more passionate about sports and supporting the kids he met. He will truly be missed.

Karon, I can't tell you how shocked we are on Bills death. He came into our Monday night fantasy football league with Steve Petsel. An unlikely addition his passion for football, food, and especially cards made him fit right in. We are all better for knowing Bill and will miss him greatly. RIP my friend. Jay Gunn

I was so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. I will always remember him as the favorite umpire during our softball games with Cedar Hills Booster Club. He was always encouraging us and offering tips to help us out during the game. He was a great guy and will be missed by many!
