I have the most fondest memories of my first cousin Bill and spending every Christmas together growing up in Comanche at our Grandparents home. So many wonderful memories and fun times. He was the coolest cousin anyone could have. Love you and will miss you dear Bill.

Bill has become a good friend to my wife and I over the last 2 years. We are going to miss him dearly as he was more than our real estate agent, but also good friend with a keen sense of humor that comes from decades of dealing with people. Heaven has gained a true believer and another angel that’s going to be missed dearly.
James, your family is in our thoughts & prayers. Please rest in knowing that Bill was loved by many.
