Last Summer we spent a joyous lunch at Pelican’s Nest with Marie and Bill. Bill had a quick wit and great sense of humor, which always made your time with him fun and enjoyable. A week later George took Bill for a ride in his restored “57” Chevy. They spent several hours driving around and visiting Bill’s friends, relatives and neighbors. Truly joyous times spent with our high school classmate. Our sincere sympathy and love to Marie and his family. Sorry we can’t be in town for his service. George and Sharon Winter
I was honored to have known both Bill and Marie at the Northwest YMCA. Both volunteered many hours. It always made my day a happy one when I saw the two of them come in to exercise. I can still hear Bill’s boisterous "SEE YA!" when he was leaving. Bill always stopped to see how someone was, always caring and kind. His great smile and laugh will be missed. Marie and Bill were a beautiful couple and a testament as to what a great marriage should be. Their LOVE for each other was clear to see. Thanks Bill for being my friend. I will miss you. Heaven has a new glorious Angel to watch over Marie and the family. Say hello for me to all our Ambassador Friends in Heaven!

Bill was our high school classmate and friend. Can’t believe that it was 10 years ago that he was part of the committee that planned our 50th reunion. Such fun!! He always had such a great sense of humor, positive attitude and loved people. Heaven is rejoicing… Our hearts go out to Marie and her family and pray for comfort as they deal with their loss. Bob & Marilyn Edwards
