Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jean and all Bill’s family. We have many happy memories of seeing Bill and Jean when we visited Bill’s father and Lillian. Love to all, Pam and Hank Ward
We are so sad to learn of the death of our special high school friend. He and Bob were classmates and next-door neighbors. We enjoyed visiting with Bill and Jean in later years (at our class suppers and reunions) and will miss him!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jean and the family. Bill and I grew up together just 2 houses apart on Ann Street in Rockingham, NC. We are first cousins, close in age, and were like brothers until I went in the Air Force to see the world. We are sad that our family has lost such an important member, but he certainly will remain in our thoughts as “Wee Willy”. We are sorry that we will not be able to make the trip for the service. Our very best to his family and friends.
