   We had the privilege of meeting this wonderful, sweet man last summer at Dale & Ginny’s house. His smile lit up the room!!! We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers at this time. We are so very sorry, so very sad to hear of your loss. With deepest sympathy, Love, Tim & Linda Jones

   Daddy, I will miss your steady, solid, optimistic presence. These last few years with you were a blessing. I couldn’t love you this much if you had not first loved us kids so well.

   Bill was always such a delight at the Wojtkowski family functions…he liked his coffee and soda for sure. And no matter what, he aways had a smile on his face. Such a gentle and kind soul he was. My prayers go out to you Aunt Ginny and all your siblings. I love you and am thinking of you during this difficult time.
