I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I was his step daughter for years and I know despite my mother Bill was a very nice man. I honestly can't even believe he's gone, Bill was too young, he is so very missed. Bill would be happy to know I listened to what he said and I did finally merry Brad. Thank you Bill for all of your good advice, and I am so sorry for all my mother put you through. I miss you.

I stopped by the cemetery in April and noticed that Bill joined Karen and Billy. What a sad realization. My condolences to Traci and the entire family.

My condolences to Kara and family. Bill was a wonderful friend and co-worker. He was a kind generous person who will be missed. I will always treasure his friendship.

Bill was a sweet, kind, generous person! We sure miss him!

Bill's family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. He was a wonderful man, friend and co-worker. We all thought the world of Bill, and he will be dearly missed.

My prayers are with Billy's family. He was a good guy, and I enjoyed growing up with his family.

My prayers go out to Billy's family. Many fond memories of the Bledsoe's at church and school back at Dyess. I will always remember him and Karen. Good Bless your family, Shirley Parker Lundy

Billy was a great kid who always had a ready smile. I'm sure he was no different as an adult. My heart goes out to all of you: Elwyn, Lois, Nelwyn and Linda. Mitch Langston

I am just heartbroken. I have always loved all the Bledsoe's and I felt just like family had passed when I heard about Billy's death. My love and prayers go out to all of you. You will be in my thoughts.

My husband and I knew Bill from Bank Midwest, Kansas City. Although we worked together under adverse circumstances, I admired Bill and had great respect for him.
Bill was a true gentleman, the likes of which are few and far between these days.
Our sincerest condolences,
Gerard and Mary O'Neill

I was so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Traci may heart goes out to you and your family.
