Daddy I miss you so bad. Growing up I always had to miss you because our time together was never enough. I would cry so hard every time you had to leave me. That ache of missing you was tremendous and that is still true to this day. I will never know why we stopped talking last year in November but it will always hurt. You and I used to be so close, you even told me I was your rock. I wish it could have still been that way for us until the end. I love you so much dad... Im a mess without you or without the opportunity to talk to you one more time. I will NEVER forget you and I will ALWAYS love you. -Nikki-❤️

Today is going to be a really tough day as they lay you to rest my dear cousin! My very first best friend, my partner in crime. I will forever cherish the memories we made together. I remember as a child Bill always wanted to be a truck driver. I never remember him wanting to be anything else. I am so happy he was able to make that dream happen. Forever in my heart and always on my mind. Until we meet again, (your favorite cousin) Joycie Stone (Cole)

My earliest childhood memories are of me and Billy eating alphabet soup and watching speed racer while my Mom (Aunt Joyce) & his Mom (Aunt Betsy) talked in the dining room on Eastholm. I also loved to hear his stories/adventures. Life goes by too fast and we all get too busy. I am so glad my Dad & I got to visit Billy the last time he was in Akron, OH. I am Keeping Bills family in prayer, may the wonderful and I am sure funny memories of Bill comfort you in the days to come. God bless you cousin :) with love, Bonnie Gill (Cole)

Rich Rukstalis Back in 1996 I had a bad truck wreck and wanted nothing to do with trucking. Bill put me in the truck with him as a passenger and I rode with him for a few days when he lived in Ohio. It helped me to get back into trucking. He was a great friend who you could lean on anytime. You will be very missed Bill all the good times and fun times and funny things that happened to us.

looking Back when we were kids. Our Moms always hanging out. Us always keeping them busy with our shenanigans. You always had such an ornery grin. I was so glad we were able to hang out last time you were in Town. Really wish we could have done it more often. Hope I still get to meet your kids one day, and share stories. Fly High Dear Cousin 🕊🙏💙
