Bill & Nikki were amongst our closest friends while at Dallas Seminary in Texas in the late 80s and early 90s. We only learned of this recently after I (Daryl) noticed I could no longer reach Bill. We're still hoping to get in contact with Nikki. The Colemans Lindale, Texas 214.725.3330

I remember Bill as a kind and thoughtful co-worker. His ready smile always brightened my day. In the years after we worked together, I remember Bill's encouragement and kind words at the finish line of the MS Bike event where we'd see each other every year. I will carry those memories with me.

I was very saddened to hear of Bill's passing and send the prayers and thoughts of my entire family. Billy's parents and my parents were old friends, and I worked with Billy during 2 summers in construction in London during our high-school years. It was hard work and Billy was up to the challenge. I haven't seen Bill in many years, but when I think of Billy, I see that big grin and remember vividly his positive attitude and his deep compassion for others. May the strength of his faith assist you during this difficult time.

Dear Trish and Paul, Doug and young Paul. We are heartbroken to hear about the tragic loss of your beloved son, Billy. Billy used to sit behind Bebe in class and always bugged her with many questions. It seems it was only yesterday. It was so generous of you to send a condolence card after the recent loss of my husband Bill. I know how painful it is, losing a loved one. But you will always keep him in your heart and thank the Lord for the time he spent with you on this earth. Our sincerest condolences, Michelle, Bebe's and Brian's families.
