May God's love bring peace and comfort to you at this time. Bill will be missed by many. The am sessions will not be the same without his ukulele; the Radio Theater Group will miss his wit as well as his presence. It would not surprise me to hear that a few angles are taking up ukulele instead of playing harps.

Not sure I ever met Bill except online of the IRS Retirees.  He has always provided us with update info - it's a shock to see this morning, he has passed.  I pray for GOD's peace for each of you for his loss.  He will be missed by many.

Dear Robin and Lori
My heart is reaching out to you,
For what you’re going through;
I’m thinking of you frequently
And praying for you, too.
I love you both.  gwen

My deepest sympathy to the family.  When I became an auditor in Salisbury, I was under the Hickory office and when I met Bill his smile made me feel welcome.  We had a lot of meetings together and he taught me the 2 step.  He will be truly missed.  Rest in peace, Bill.

I just want to say how sorry I am for Bill's passing. Bill is a funny guy and a lot of fun. I haven't seen him in years but I remember him and Tom would hide the Easter Eggs at Grandma's and Grandpa's.  One year at Christmas when we were at Grandmas and Grandpas Bill had drew someone's name and his gift was an umbrella but he had wrapped it like a candy cane.  I thought that was so cool and I still remember that.  
I always loved his posts on FB. Being a shortage of Democrats in the area, I felt like we had to stick together.
I will miss those funny posts and his face on line.  
Bill is with the Lord and doing the David dance, we will see him again soon.
I love you both and I wish I could be there but I have a lot of work in the next 10 days.
I will be thinking of you guys on Sunday and I will continue to pray for peace is you guys spirit.

Dear Robin and Lori and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your daddy.  It hurts to loose the ones we love, to loose their presence in our lives.  Bill was a friend to many and all who knew him, loved him.  Several years ago, when we lined danced...it was so much fun.  I know you had a lot of fun times together, hold these memories close to you.  My heart hurts for you as you go through this sad and difficult time.  Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.  May God bless you and keep you in his care.  Love from me, Carolyn
