Bill always provided me acceptance without expectation. I especially treasured his giving me a place to stay while I waited for the Air Force to accept me. From the family, I can say that my girls always looked forward to sitting and talking with “Uncle Bill”. He enriched us by being a part of our lives.
Bonnie and Bill,
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your father. You and your family have my deepest sympathy.

Our sincere sympathy to the family and to our “dear friend”. Prayers & thoughts are with you all in your time of grief. Bill was an old friend and best man at our wedding. He will be truely missed.
To The Powell Family:
I wish to express my sincere condolence for the loss of your love one. Words cannot express the pain and sorrow that you feel. However, please find comfort in God’s promise found in the Bible at John chapter 5, verses 28&29. It reads: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.”
Just think what an exciting and wonderful day it will be when God resurrect our love ones back to life who have fallen to sleep in death.
You are in my prayers.
We want to extend our sympathy to all of Bill’s family. We will keep you in our hearts and prayers during this time.
