"Triscia and Family - I am so very sorry that I won't be able to make it to the services this week. Bill was a one-of-a-kind guy and somebody I always enjoyed talking to. He could always give and take a good ribbing, which reminded me of my own family and always put me at ease. I truly miss having B-I-L around. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. "
"My sympathy goes out to Bill's entire family. Him and I grew up by each other and rode 3 wheelers and had many fun times with others in our neighborhood in the country by New Liberty. We ran into each other when our daughter swam for Linn-Mar and we were in Muscatine for a high school swim meet to find out our daughters knew each other. Cherish all the memories you have. Bill was a good guy and a good friend to many. Take Care, Rob Meyer - Cedar Rapids, Iowa"
