So very thankful that Ivonne and Bill were blessed to have 25+years together and enjoy life, family and traveling! Bill was such a caring man and loved all the grandkids! He will be missed by all that Knew him but his memory continues on in all those whose lives he was a part of! Blessed that I got to see him just a week ago and amazing that the virtual church service was available as I live far away. Bill knew that the girls would always be there for their mom as they saw the example of generations before them! Family loyalty and love! Ivonne you Know you have a very special ANGEL watching over you! We love you, your Texas Family

My parents gave me the GREATEST gifts on the day of my birth; 3 loving, big brothers, and I will love them always. My oldest memory of "my middle brother" involved an encounter with a neighborhood bully. Bill came to my rescue and told the bully, "if you bother my sister again, I'll hang you in a tree by your ears". I have no doubt that my brother, my protector, would have done exactly that! Bill was protective and dependable. Ivonne said recently, that "Bill made everything right". Truer words were never spoken. However... Bill didn't always DO everything right... His motives were pure of heart though, even as a toddler. He once helped a neighbor by washing his car.. but he didn't have water so he used rocks to wash it. Oops! (Lol!) One day he wanted to give his Mommy something pretty, and may or may not have pulled up all the newly planted flowers from a neighbor's garden to make her a bouquet. As a teen, he definitely helped remove weeds from the edges of our back patio.. with gasoline. And yes. Fire trucks were called! My brother didn't always do everything right, but he did everything with a pure heart and loving intentions, and indeed MADE everything right. He was just the best. A hole in one. A 300 game. A royal flush - in hearts of course, because he was all heart. I miss him.. his smile, his laugh, his hugs, his brotherly love, his friendship, his guidance, and our bro-sis partnership. I will treasure the memories and be grateful for the many tools he gave me to carry on, and try my best to make him proud of his little Sis.

I considered Bill my brother. We worked together for nearly twenty years as partners. We had a bond that starting forming shortly after we met back in 1977. I will never forget how Bill helped me get started at Ormond Shops. My success in that position was largely due to his help in the early months after I started. He was a GOOD MAN! My thoughts and prayers go out to Ivonne and all his children.

Our friendship stood the test of time. Bill and I were friends/family for 40+ year. He was truly a strong, special and gentle soul. Great friendship, great times and a lifetime of memories. I will miss you terribly “My Buddy” ❤️

What can I say, Bill was always a Quiet, Kind, Gentle Giant of the the group! Smart, reasonable, & loved a good party! I have always enjoyed his company and being part of the family ,he was always there whenever you needed anything! The last few years Bill went through some health problems but you would never know it because he never complained and when you asked,"Bill ,how are you feeling?" He would say" Ok",this guy was special in every way and I will MISS HIM! May you rest in peace with all of the angels that were taken from this family! LOVE YOU ARLENE
