I am truly sorry to hear this news about the passing of Bill. Bill and I worked together for many years. Bill was always a hard working honest individual! When I would visit Bill at the office, we would discuss business stuff briefly then discuss what was really important....life and the things we enjoyed. I will always have fond memories. Jan, kids, grandkids & other family members, please know Bill was an important member in the fluid power industry. May you rest in peace Bill. Dave Bush

This is one of my favorite pictures of my Uncle Bill & has been since the 80’s. T-Birds!

Christmas 2022! Bill cherished being surrounded by his children and grandchildren. The imprint you have left on all our lives will live on in all these smiling faces. We love you "old man"!

To someone I looked up to in life, I will never forget all of your stories and the endless amount of love you showed me. You truly had a one of a kind soul and I am grateful for the time we had together. I love you always and will never watch a baseball game without thinking of you or listen to music without the thought of you showing me your favorite songs. I hope wherever you are you are looking down on all of us and I hope to continue to make you proud. I will always be your “blondie” I love you grandpa ❤️

My Uncle Bill took me to see my first double feature movie. We had so many fun times together. The one time that really stands out for me is when he came to get me from school when I was sick. I remember telling the nurse that I heard his car horn. She told me all car horns should alike……no one I Los Alamitos had his Dixie air car horn! So many memories not enough room to write! I love you so very much. Staci

Bill was my younger brother. I remember giving him his first hearing tests when our older brother Jim was sneaking mom’s car out to go drinking with his friends. I also remember when we would spend time hooking rugs. Later on I had the pleasure of giving him a kidney. Every year after that we would call one another and toast to your health. Now on that day I will toast to you and remember all the good time we had. I love you so very much and wish you were still here with us. Marie

Grandpa, you were one of my greatest supporters in life. You always made sure I knew you were proud of me, always asking how cheer and stunt were going. I will never forget the day you showed up to one of my football games, I was so so excited. Our competitive texts between who we thought was gonna win this football game, our sleepovers with all the grandchildren watching Clue and doing the singing telegram, teaching me to do magic tricks when I had an obsession with cards, sitting at the table playing black jack, painting your fake toenails, coming over everyday to babysit and we would watch comedy shows, and many more memories will forever be in my heart. You were such an inspiration to me, no matter what happened you always had a smile on your face. You could light up a whole room with a single joke. I would do anything to hear you call me “sport” one more time. You meant so much to me you don’t even know. I love you forever and ever grandpa

This was one of my favorite memories with grandpa. Me and allie found this shirt while on vacation, and immediately thought of grandpa. He opened up this shirt and the whole room burst out laughing. He loved it. His sense of humor was always the best.

To know Bill is to love Bill! ❤️ I got to know Bill and love him as family for 21 years...and counting. We did not agree on the best football team. Although he was a diehard Bears fan, he would still give me updates on the Cowboys every time I saw him. He loved his baseball, and I just go to the games for the food. It never stopped him from telling me about all of the teams every time I saw him. Bill had a way of making you feel like the conversation was all about you. He always made it a point to ask you how you are doing. How work was going for you. What was new in your life. Bill loved his people to his core. Every time we would tell him we were having another baby, he would respond with "For crying out loud!" but boy did he love his grandchildren! I know secretly he was excited. I love the way that Bill loved his grandchildren & was one of their biggest cheerleaders. Thank you for accepting me into the family. Thank you for your continual unconditional love. Thank you for being you. I love you always, sir! ❤️
