I worked with Bill at Sappi and knew Tina from school. Tina, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and the children. I am so sorry for your loss.
We could always count on Bill for a good laugh and his love of the Red Wings.##imported-begin##Cheri Trotter (Norton)##imported-end##
To Tina, kids & all of Bill's family,
I received an email a day or so ago letting me know of the passing of Bill, one of my classmates from Mona Shores 1984 class. I had no idea Bill was even sick, as I have been away from Muskegon for a couple of years now.
I remember Bill as being the guy who was nice to everyone-he didn't care if you were in a "click" or hung out with the people he did. Bill was always genuinely nice with that smile that lit up his face & the room!
I am so sorry to hear of his untimely passing. I am sure that he is lighting up heaven with his smile now. He was a good man & touched many, many lives here on earth. I will keep your family in my prayers.
May God bless you & comfort you.##imported-begin##Kim Collins##imported-end##

Tina, i want to thank you for everything you did for my dad through all of this. He could not have had a better person to help him stay strong. He loved you more than almost anything, and he told me that every time i seen him.

Dear Tina and family, I am so saddened by the loss of Bill. Bill was the classmate everyone loved and a friend to all. My Bill story is the book story. In 9th grade, my most treasured possession was a book about my favorite person, Jim Morrison, "No One Here Gets Out Alive". Bill borrowed it on the last day of 9th grade, promising to return it next year. Tenth grade came and went, and so did 11th and 12th. Every time I saw him, Bill would laugh and promise "I'll get it to you!" Remember, this was 1981; there was no internet and few bookstores. I never would have loaned it out, but, it was Bill and he promised, and he was always so charming. We'd bump into each other in town every couple of years, and he (with that huge smile) would promise to give it back. 20 years later, Bill returned my book! Thank you, Bill, and thank you Tina. God bless you and your family.##imported-begin##Lori (Hvizdos) Weiler##imported-end##
My sympathies to all of Bill's family and friends. He was a friend of mine way back in junior high and I still consider him to be even though we only ran into each other from time to time. When we did run into each other, he always acted like no time had passed. He will be missed.##imported-begin##Jan (Kammers) Galarneau (MSHS - '85)##imported-end##

Tina, I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you. Bill was a great person to be around. He had a great sence of humor and was a very kind person. I thing that keeps running through my mind in God must have needed someone to do "chick work" as Bill would say. You are a very strong person and have been through a lot in the past months. I have a lot of respect for you and think you are a great woman for taking care of your man. I am very sorry for the lose you are going through. Trish##imported-begin##Trisha Bentz##imported-end##
Tina, I am so very sorry for your loss. You two had a good run together and have so many wonderful memories of your life together. He was a great guy! It wasn't fair to take him so early but God must have needed a golf player on His team. My thoughts are with you on this day of celebration of Bills life. And if you ever need anything, a golf partner, a friend, or someone to play Twister, you can count on me to be there for you. Much love and sorrow on this day and forward.
