Condolences

Condolence From: Julie Wisniewski Brown
Condolence: My heartfelt condolences to the entire family for your loss. I've known Bill my whole life and it seems like every year we lose another beloved cornerstone of our community. When my dad passed in 1984, Bill was the first person my mom had me notify. Like his father,"Big" Bill, "Young" Bill will live on in our memories.

Condolence: Bill will be one of our great loss with INTEGRITY!
Bill was like a father to me more than my own when I became Service Manager to Smith & Doster Ford Dealership many years ago. That was the best job for me of all the places I've shared my passion of fixing anything. He stressed the skill of having the trust of customers and the abilities to try to do it right or don't do it at all. I've spent many hours with most of his family members who most treated me as a family member. I will miss not seeing Bill again. I would give him a huge hug EVERY TIME I saw him. Bill and his wife, Pat, had given me advice often on how to handle issues while working for S&D. I'M glad that he respected my skills and told me so often, too. I was so grateful for Bill's Barry Phone Company for hiring my wife, Pat where she was able to save and invest for a future for our retirement's times. Miss you Bill ALWAYS. Hugs and thoughts to all family members and friends. Xxo0

Condolence: Bill was a long time member and former President of the Barry County Telephone board of directors and successfully led our company for many years. Bill never stopped being supportive of our company’s endeavors and would regularly attend our annual stockholder meetings. He was well known and a very well respected member of our community. His optimistic attitude was contagious and his commitment to our community will have a lasting effect. Bill will be missed.

Condolence: I am sorry to hear about your loss, but as I read his obituary I realize how blessed he was by such a vast and wonderful family. The Delton community was lucky to have such a giving person in our midst. I taught many of the grandchildren and I know they will always remember him with great love and admiration.
