I was so glad that I got to know Mr Bill. He was a special gentleman and friend. He faithfully brought his sister Miss Bonnie to the beauty shop for many years. I once told him how sweet he was and he said "awe you're just saying that because it's
true"
Peace and Love
Glad your family, Judy

Mr Elsey was such a stately gentleman. I only knew him from church and never spoke to him personally, but he was a faithful attender and was always smiling and friendly to every one.

A life long very close family friend. Bill and Virginia were best friends to my Mom & Dad, Jim & Mollie Robins. They were like family to us, even a trip to the east coast for a visit. Bill and I talked often over the years. Last spring he said he would see me on the other side if we didn’t see one another before. Special, Christian, wonderful man. We all loved him. Rest now dear Bill.
