So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. It was always comforting knowing Bill was only a phone call away if needed. May the warm thoughts of the many people whose lives were touched by Bill be of comfort to his loved ones.

Ashlie, Rhett, Katie, Melanie and his sisters and brothers...so sorry for your loss, it is especially hard this time of year but God can get you through it. He had a long happy life filled with lots of love. He will be remembered by many. I will always remember him asking Lawrence to ride in the Sharpsburg Parade with him the other year and Lawrence was so glad he got to talk to him and you, Ashlie at Waffle House that morning not long ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless.

Uncle Bill has always been one of my favorite people since I was a young girl. I appreciated his candor, authenticity, outlook on life, and overall gregarious personality. He was most definitely one of a kind and will not be forgotten by those who were lucky enough to know and love him. He always left me with a smile.... I know that he and Pap are making some good ole bluegrass music in heaven today with Gram joining in with the harmony!
"See you later" Uncle Bill! Love you......

As you know so well, Bill was one of the good guys, one of a kind. Every single time he was in court with me he would come over and say hello, every time! He always made me feel special. I loved watching him in action in the courtroom! Goodbye Bill, you will sure be missed!!
