My memories of Bill are of a guy who loved to laugh, enjoyed his family and was the life of the party! He will be missed so much by everyone who knew him. May God bless Norma, Dolly and all the family whom he loved to the depth of his being. May they take comfort in the joy their love gave him. Love, Iris Stanfield

I knew Bill for only a few short years. We shared a deer lease in Chester, Texas. Bill cooked "backstrap," prepared like "liver and onions," that was to die for. Terry and Dolly...Thank you for sharing him with me! Come and see us. Love and Prayers, Loma and Lanny
