Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am a diamond's glint on the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken
in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars,that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there
I did not die.
Of our Years of Friendship and Golfing Days I will miss you, and you will never be forgotten.
Love Bob,
Island Green Golf Coarse.

He was looking for a place to stay and unfortunately I had no way to help. I always enjoyed him. Sincerely, Edna Muser

It was an honor and privilage to know you Billy! My prayers go out to the family members and to all who knew you.

The Pro is my shepherd I shall not slice,

He maketh me drive straight down green fairways,

He leadeth me safely across still water hazards,

He restoreth my approach shots,

He leadeth me in the paths of accuracy for my game's sake,

Yea though I chip through the roughs,

In the shadows of sand traps,

I will fear no bogies,

For his advice is with me,

His putter and Irons they comfort me,

He prepareth a strategy for me,

In the presence of mine opponents,

He appointeth my head with confidence,

The cup will not runneth over,

Surely birdies and eagles shall follow,

Me all the rounds of my life,

And I will score in the low seventies forever!!
