Sorry to hear of Bill's passing
I always viewed Bill as someone I would like to model my life after. He will be truly missed
I worked with Bill at Mid America Industries and he is still the best boss I have ever had! He was a good man and friend. I am sorry for the loss to the family and friends, but he is in a much better place. may God bless you in your time of sorrow!
I worked with Bill for a number of years @ Mid America Inds . Bill was one of the kindest men I have known. He always had a smile on his face regardless of the situation. I know the family will miss him greatly but we can rejoice in the knowledge that Bill is today with his Savior in heaven and there was a wonderful reunion with his loved one who had gone on before. May God`s grace and love be with you during this time. John Kizer

With deepest sympathy. Hugs, thoughts and prayers for all of you.
My deepest sympathies to the whole family. I just lost my Dad last month, I know what you are going through right now. I just wanted to let you know that when Greg told me about Bill yesterday, the first thing that came to my mind was: I will never see Bill and Betty Ann two step around the dance floor again. When I came into this family 33 years ago, I was so amazed at the two of them at wedding dances. Bill will be missed by all.
Our deepest sympathy to the Seiter Family. We will always remember how kind he was and his beautiful smile and laugh!!!
Love, Karla, Ricky & Mitchell Beene
my thoughts an prays are with you betty
Uncle Bill was one of the sweetest, most gentle men that I have ever known. Even after all those married years, you could see the "love struck " look in his eyes when he looked or talked about Aunt Betty. I will miss calling and having them both speak to me at the same time on the phone😃 I will always treasure those moments. There's no doubt that he is in heaven right now and enjoying being with his brothers and all of his loved ones. I will miss him so much.
