Deepest sympathy to you Diana, and your entire family. I worked with Bill in Mn for School Specialty , and after the Latta acquisition. He was quite the guy, and spoke highly of you and everyone of the kids by name. Felt like we knew you. I remember one of my customers at a school board show asking why he couldn’t be her “rep”, that was funny. After I left SS, he saw my last name on my daughter’s name tag at a boat show and asked if she was related, small world,she came back with a Riverridge cozie for me. I was so shocked and saddened to see and read of his passing, but I was elated to participate in the live stream , Celebration of Life. Bill would have been over joyed , the music was beautiful. I am Happy he is free of pain, but I am saddened for all who suffer his loss, especially you and his family. You’s will be remembered in all my prayers as we all continue the journey forward. Peace, Hope and Love!

So sorry we missed Bill's homegoing celebration, Diana. Both Jan and I have been sick with significant chest colds. Our hearts are certainly burdened for your loss, and so thankful for the hope that we have in Jesus. Our Lord is close to the broken hearted. Sending our love & prayers.

It was an awesome service ! I’m thankful it was online as I couldn’t attend ! He was a treasured friend ! I will miss him! 🙏🙏

Colleen watched the live stream live. She felt close to you and with you and she sends her love to you.
