I (Nancy) worked with Marge at Interstate Optical.
You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of Bill.
Remember the good times and know that he is at peace with the Lord now.
My deepest sympathy to the family. I worked with Bill when he was employed at the Powell Company. Bill was a very dear person and I thought of him as more of a friend than a co-worker. He was always there to lend a hand wherever and whenever needed. He will be missed by family and friends, but one has the many memories of him. May God be with family and friends during this time.
My deepest sympathy to the family. I went to school with Bill for 12 grades and he was a neighbor. My prayers are with the family at this sad time.
Bill and I go back a couple of years I was in A.A. here in Lima and he was great help to me. Then I had the pleasure working with him at the Powell Company. Please know he was loved and will be missed. Sorry for the families loss.
