I worked with Bill at the music store and we played a duo from time to time. I enjoyed his sense of humor and his musicianship was superb. He will be missed by many.

When I moved here from South Florida I begun to sing solos around town. Then Jeff of Tropical Ave needed a sub for Najla Chambers Bray and I was recommended. I then subbed once a month and during that time I got to know the guys before being hired full time in The Crashers. At the time Bill was the bass player in Tropical Ave. He achieved so many obstacles, and he was doing good. He recently started coming to see me sing at Jacks on Marion, and it was always good to see him. Well last Friday he achieved the very obstacle that all of us must face and he will be missed. RIP Bill
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Happy Birthday My "Punkin". Salsa says she loves and misses you immensely oh and Feliz Cumpleanos. We thank Jesus for taking me by the hand as He walks this journey by my side. Holding on to our memories and letting them guide me through this difficult time of sadness has eased my pain. God knows that I love and miss you but am hopeful to see you in "The Third Heaven". You are precious to Me and honored, and I Love you. Isaiah 43:4...

Sarah & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss!!! Bill was fun to be around and I know this will be hard for you all. He was always happy and fun to be around.
Bill,
I really am going to miss playing music with you and hearing your MANY MANY MANY jokes!!! You were the life of any group you were in. If I knew you were takin off so soon, I would have talked to you longer at Wal-Mart the other day! OK, there is my joke, but it is not so funny without you to laugh at me. Really, I miss you, and, I know we will be jammin together again for our Lord and Savior in the very near futurer!!!

Remembering all our times growing up, thankful for the morals Mom & Dad instilled to us. We each have strong religious beliefs, an intense sense of right and wrong and a love of family. All of us have been blessed to have loving children that we taught to live by the same code, so we know the circle is unbroken. I can hear Mom, Dad & you playing in 'the big band' and Susie is right next to you, cheering you on.

I am missing you my husband and Salsa is sincerely missing her "daddy". Memories of love and friendship are treasures we will carry with us always. You were picked for the Lord's mansion and I know that, I know you are in heaven and are no longer broken.
When I must leave you for a little while, Please do not grieve and shed wild tears and hug sorrow to you through the years. But start out bravely with a gallant smile, and for my sake and in my name, live on and do all things the same.
Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each walking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer and never, never be afraid to die, for I am waiting for you in the sky.
