I have known Bill for many yrs. as his wife was my very best friend before she passed away.Given our friendship I was pretty close to the entire family.

I always thought it was great that the whole family could go fishing and enjoy the time together doing this hobby.

I can remember driving through Iowa City and would see the crew of Iowa Gas & Electric working at the side of the road. I would honk or wave and some of them would wave back. Always friendly wherever I might see him.

As couples my husband & I along with Virginia & Bill used to go out on a weekend night to the Stardust, a small local bar. Being that it was a weekend there would be a band and I will never hear the songs "Wipe Out" and "Cocaine" without thinking of Bill after a few drinks jumping to his feet and dragging Virginia out on the dance floor. I really don''t think it was possible for him to sit while either of these songs played. It was fun to see him have such a good time.

Bill will always be a part of my memories of the "Good Old Days."

So sad to say good bye to another friend. May he be united again with Virginia.

I will never forget our times working together. Bull was quite a charcter, made me laugh many times!!!

My thought and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

I worked with John, Bull's son, at HJ Limited and I remember how close he and John were. Bull would come to the company Christmas parties and it was always a pleasure to spend time with him. God Bless and Godspeed.

To Bill's Family

I always had a lot of respect for Bill and his work ethic. We shared some great hours and stories together. Wish there had of been more. Thoughts and prayers for all of you.

Bill was one of my good friends, we served together in the Iowa National Guard for a number of years. My condolence goes out to the family.

Bill and sister Betty were friends of mine at City High. I have fond memories from those days as well as several class reunions that Bill attended. My condolences to your family.
