Bill was the epitome of what masonry and eastern star stand for. He will be missed by many. There is an empty spot in our hearts without him.

My sympathy is extended to the family of a man that I did admire in the time that I worked with him.
He was always the one to give advice and help to "the young bucks". May God bless.

The Brownlee Family. I was a volunteer with Bill at St. Elizabeth's for many years and as you know he was the sweetest most loving person. I know how much he loved all of you and I will miss him so much, along with everyone else who knew him at the hospital. I saw him for the last time on Wednesday and as usual he was his smiling, gregarious self trying to turn the conversation around to me and not his health troubles. Just know that I always thought of him as a special friend and I will always remember him. Bill's friend, Betty Grigsby

In the loss of a friend, I extend my sympathy. I worked with him for 23 years, have set in lodges with him many times and always admired him for the man that he was. May God Bless his family.

Mom and I were really sorry to hear about your dad. We wish we could be there with you, but I'm sure you are aware why we can't be. But, if we can do anything else for you, please let us know.
Bill and Clidell
