“Bill was a first rate co-worker. I was a metallurgist at Honeywell from 2004 (fresh out of college) to 2014. Bill took the time to explain his methods and do things right. He was honest, dependable, straightforward, everything you would want from a metallurgical lab technician. Bill was also a friend. We talked about our Savior, Jesus Christ, his Emmaus Road group, family, and so much more. Bill's family should be proud of him and seek to follow his footsteps inasmuch as Bill followed the Lord.”

Arnold Thomas wrote a sympathy message

“John 14:27a Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Valerie, Erica, William and family. We want to express our deepest sympathy. Bill requested tell others they are loved in the eyes of God and have value in His creation. Jesus Christ came to earth, gave his life for all and was resurrected. Bill understood that he needed a Savior. Bill repented and received Jesus Christ as his Savior. Jesue is God's love for us! Arnold and Linda Thomas”

“Valerie/Erica, I am so sadden with your loss. We finally got to do a fishing trip last summer (after all those years of fishing stories) and I got to experience Bill and Wayne in their element. That memory will be with me forever. I have no doubt Bill is with God today, looking down on all of us. His positivity up to the end was also so heart warming...always positive He was a great man, husband, father and friend. I will miss him dearly. God bless you and your family. Ed W.”
