Please know that you have my sincerest condolences. It was my privilege and honor to have worked with him at UI Public Safety for a couple of years. He shared many experiences and perceptions helping me learn how to be a Chief. I will never forget them. I was extremely fortunate to have shared many laughs and wonderful experiences with him. He will be missed!

Heartfelt condolences to Beanie's family. He was a great friend through grade school, junior high and high school. We shared many experiences while growing up. No "detour" signs to worry about on your way to Heaven, Beanie.

Dear Sandy, We were so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. He was truly a great guy and we will miss him. We sure missed you guys at the reunion this year. God Bless you and keep in touch. With Love and Friendship, Carroll & Elaine

Sandra and family,

Bill was such a great, warm person. I enjoyed our chats and when he would stop by my office. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

It's my hope that your wonderful memories will give you some solace at this most difficult time.

I remember him from high school. We called him Beanie. I wonder if that nickname ever stuck. My condolences to the family. I know many card players have preceded him so maybe he is enjoying his pastime in another place...May his soul and the rest of the faithfully departed rest in peace..

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and my prayers are with you and your family.

My prayers are with the family....May God be with you at this time...

Bill will always be remembered with his big smile and the goodtimes at cards, even if I never beat him and his partner. He was a great Officer with DPS enjoyed working the games with him and all his Staff. Susan and family you are all in my prayer's. God Bless You All.

Your smile, laugh and generosity will never leave my memory Uncle Beanie. You have been such a staple to our family ties and you will be missed so much. God has recieved one of the best to his kingdom and I know you will always be watching over all of us. I will see you again someday and until then know that I love you and will miss you dearly.

Bill's Family,
