We lost a faithful friend when you left. Your kindness, friendship and love for me and my family will always be remembered. I loved your quirky sense of humor and your big smile. You always had time to help out or just hang out. Rest In Peace. Love, Tonie & Jim Thompson

So sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Bill. I had the pleasure of working with him in Silsbee at Collision Solutions. I was a painter at the time. He had me paint 2 golf clubs for him, he wanted them painted PINK for a Cancer Awareness Golf Tournament. He retired and then I had the pleasure of working with his son Chad for a while. Your family has our deepest sympathy for your loss. Jimmie O'Brien

We shared joy and tears. Our love was tested many times but the bond of love we had for each other could not be broken. I loved him in perfect health and loved him and took care of him thru his illness. I was there when he took his last breath and entered into the joy of our Lord. I will miss him dearly. Bill had a servant heart. Always ready to help anyone in need and when he laughed, you laughed with him. Rest in peace until we meet again. All my love, Becky Slocum
