I will surely miss Bill’s smile and gentle spirit at our dartball games. God made a very special person when He made Bill. Praying that God would give your family peace and comfort as you walk the “valley of the shadow of death”. I would be there if I wasn’t on vacation in TX. If you need anything feel free to contact me.

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Bill. Bill was such a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. I am the oldest of Jean and Don Helman’s children, but I do remember seeing David and Brenda over to the house alot. (especially David). I remember coming down to your house often. Bill was always glad to see company and sit down and talk to us. Also thanks so much for taking my mom to church on Sundays. I really appreciate it and I know she does too. I will keep you in prayers and thoughts thru this difficult time. He will always be with all of you. Keep his memories alive and talk about him.

First cousin – son of carl, hank’s brother.
because there will be many people, i wanted to do a tribute before i attend skradski’s and the mass.
i remember bill’s sense of humor well, his hunting stories, and smear games. he was a fine laid back man, husband, and father.
when i first met him, it was at the bovin camp where he enjoyed going.
we’ll miss him at family get togethers.
GOD bless him and his family.
