Steve, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow and in the days ahead.
Thank you Amy!
Uncle Bill will definitely be missed. He had a very infectious smile and laugh. What a great man. Love to all the family.
You will be missed! I love you!
On a cold and rainy day many years, i was not handling the loss of my son in law. Bill jumped into my truck and started to try to help me handle my grief. We started talking about my loss and shared both our losses. That ended with both of us crying . He really did help me and forever I will be grateful.
My thoughts & condolences go out to the family during this time of mourning and sorrow. My thoughts & prayers are with you for the tough days ahead grieving this loss.
So sorry to hear about cousin William. He had a heart as big as his smile. He will be truly missed. I will be praying for his wonderful family.
Sincere condolences from our family to yours. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. May the good memories you hold see you through the difficult times ahead.
Our thoughts and prayers for the Jones and extended family during this time of loss. To Bryan, we are sorry for your loss, we love you and are here if you need anything brother.
Praying for all of the Jones family. I love you and take comfort in knowing that we will be reunited again someday. Love you!!!
Edna. I am so sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. Bill always had the nicest smile. I know that he and Leigh Ann are reunited again. Love and prayers to you and your family.
Hello Brian and Stevie, I am sorry that I didn’t know about this sooner. I am praying for both of you and your families. If there is anything that I can do, please let me know. My memories of your Dad as a coach and mentor still resonate with me and I pray the Lord will bless you all in the coming days and months.
I went to Cary High with Bill, Claudette, and Ralph. My sympathies to the family on your loss.
Just wanted to say how sorry I am about your loss. I hate I couldn’t be there to pay my respects in person. William was fun to be around and always making people around him laugh. I will miss him but I know there was a big celebration in heaven. I love you all and will keep you in my prayers.
