This was hard news to hear, my cookie monster. I'll always remember him chasing me around and making me laugh. He was and always will be so special and dear to me. I love you all and wish I could be there to say goodbye. I'm praying for you. He was an amazing man and truly will be so missed.

My condolences over the passing of Bill. We worked together for so many years. A very fine man with a great sense of humor and a loyal employee to SOCF. Always there when needed and one of the BEST shakedown officers at the facility. Him and his partner, Roger, definitely earned the name of Starsky and Hutch. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family during this difficult time in your lives. Rest in Peace, my friend.
II Cor. 5 6-8.

So sorry to hear of Bill May passing away. I have known Bill since childhood. Sue was my best friend growing up. What great times we had hanging out together. Many wonderful memories. Friday nights at Sue's house playing cards or watching TV. Sue was dating Bill and I was dating Bill's best friend Ike Whitt. We all grew up together. Bill always had a smile on his face and he sure loved Sue. Bill was loved by his family and friends. May you Rest In Peace my old friend. My thoughts and prayers are with your family as they make their way through saying goodbye to you.

This has been a sad day, for Bill and I worked together for many years at SOCF. Friends at work and after we retired. Bill and I was talking not long ago about all the stuff we got into, we was known for many years as Starkey and Hutch and it stayed with us yet today. Sue you the kids keep your head up as Bill would not have it anyway else. Bill I consider you one of my Best friends and You will be my heart forever. Love you Buddy

My condolences go out to Bill's family today. I worked with Bill at SOCF. It was always good to see Bill when there was a disturbance. He had your back and took charge of the situation. I enjoyed working with him.
