Louie and I will miss Bill's happy smile and friendly wave as he passed by our home down the block. He was our neighbor for over 40+ yrs. and will be greatly missed. We will remember him riding his bike around the block and taking walks to keep in shape. The Giron Family
My family and I send our deepest condolences. I wish we could come in person next week to share this time with you, but do know I'm thinking of you all. I pray that my Uncle Bill is at peace now and I hope all his family stay strong during this time and bond together. I will always remember my loving Uncle Bill. Love his niece, Jennifer. xoxo

For my Dad I want to tell my dad how proud I was to have my dad as a father he always told me if I wanted thing's in life you work hard, so I did that knowing I need to be just like him a hard worker. When I would see my dad he would come to my shop and ask what he could do to help with, giving me his helping hand I Zonie will never forget that Daddy, I will miss you until I see you again yes my Heart is so sad by know that, that day will come song's I hear will always keep you in my mind! Dad go ride your bike now and be free and sing your song's like you had. Love you forever Dad with my 🙂 Zonie number 5..
My cousin Bill will forever have a special place in my heart for his gentle and loving attitude toward all who knew him. When Bill spoke to me as a child (and also as an adult) his persona emanated an unspoken caring love and respect which was a true reflection of who he truly was from deep within to all who knew him. This world has lost the presence of a special man but Heaven is rejoicing in his arrival. Bill, you will be missed but your life on earth made a difference to all of us you left behind.

I cherish the memories of Bill and my family. We worked together for
40-50 years. One memory that means so much to me is when we went
to Hartsel Buffalo hunting and brought back a buffalo in the back of my pickup truck
to Denver on I 25.
Tim and I want to say how sorry we are for the deep loss that the family is feeling at Bill's passing. We only met him twice and yet we will not forget him. Our prayers are for the family to know and experience the comfort of God that only He can give at a time like this.
Much love,
Tim & Stephanie Truong

I want you to know how much I love you. This hurts to lose one of the most cherished men in my life. You were always so loving, so happy, so stubborn, so strong. You loved Granny so much and we're so proud of your kids and grand kids. You always wanted to be at the gym, at the football games and helped so much with the boys' baseball teams. I will always cherish the times I had with you and Grandma. And I promise to watch over her for you. I hope you are resting peacefully now and we will see each other again someday. Love you forever and a day♡♡♡ Steph
