Bill was always a quiet man but get him started talking about his trips to Canada he would light up. I can picture him and my dad visiting during our trips to Tulsa. He loved his family deeply and he will be missed greatly. Rest in peace uncle Bill. Give Dad, Mom and Mitchell a big hug for me.
Myrna and family, Bill was a true treasure. I met Bill through work at IMCO-Morgantown back in 1989. He was always so kind to me, and I was honored to know him. I am so very sorry for your loss. All my love and prayers to you.
Papa, I really don’t even know where to start. I’ve thought for days what I would say if I had a chance. I wrote something for you for Elbert to read at your service. My heart hurts and I wish I could have 5 more minutes, but I know it wouldn’t be enough even so. No more suffering, no more pain, and no more hurt. You are perfect now and without a doubt would’ve taken your place if given the option. So many memories, so many laughs, and so much love we have for you. Send lots of love to Mema she misses you more than you could ever know. Thank you for all you gave us, taught us, and everything you did for us. We are so proud to call you Papa. I will miss you forever. Love Always as you called me, Sadie.
Our hearts go out to the family of Bill. Every time you all came up to Canada (Diesel's Owl Hoot) it was always wonderful times. We will never forget our visits and cherish them always. All our prayers and love as you continue in this life till we all meet again in our heavenly home. William, Rebecca (Diesel) McDonald
