Scott..Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.. Pat & Jim Morris, friends from Duron..

Anne, Mike & Scott, I met Bill back in the mid 1990's at a basketball game at UD. We began working together shortly thereafter and became friends. There was never a dull moment when Bill was around and I will miss him greatly and remember him fondly. My prayers are with you. Bob Hoffman

Anne, Mike & Scott, Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We think back on the time we spent as neighbors in the Tower Point area of Chesapeake City. There were a lot of fun times which we will always remember. Believe the last time we saw Bill was when we were passing thru the area and planned to meet for lunch at Pat's Pizza in Elkton.......Bill always loved to eat! Again, our thoughts are with you. Bill & Helen Griffith

Anne, Mike and Scott, We are so sorry about your loss. Bill was a nice guy to us for many years and we will miss him. Had some good times with him! We loved going to Out Back together with both of you. He loved good steaks! Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. Love, David and Sandy Lilly

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
