Lisa:

Sorry to hear about Billy.

I found out late last night that the service was this morning on Pawley's Island.

I will just have to give you a hug with these words until I see you again, maybe at the next neighborhood reunion tentatively being planned for sometime in January 2018.

Very sad news! I worked with Bill in the Base Closure Office and Caretaker Site Office after the Charleston Naval Shipyard closed for good in 1996. My condolences to his wife and other family members.

Tammy, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. I know at this time there are no words that will take away your sorrow. However, know that Bill adored you!!! He was a good man and he loved your family beyond compare. You took care of him and made his darkest days filled with sunshine love, joy, and happiness. He is with God and he is out of pain. Just remember... he will always be with you, protecting you and loving you. Please let me know if I can do anything for you. Love and Hugs, Leigh
