I’m so glad I got to work with a legend. He taught me how to be an above average meat manager and how to bite my tongue around the right people when the budget got tight. We had some good times in Moore’s Mill Road Publix in Auburn, AL. I’ll never forget it. Thank you. I will see you again, Bill, at “The Palace” one day. Hopefully we won’t be cutting meat.

Bill you was a great friend and you always made me smile. I am going to miss you. Thanks for introducing me to my husband. Bob. I will never forget the football games at our house you and Phillip McCrary were the two friends Bob spoke of the most. RIP my sweet friend. I know Bob was waiting at the gate when you walked into Heaven.

I loved Bill, although I certainly didn´t always agree with him. I believe he would have done anything for Pete and me if we had asked. He left us a precious gift--two beautiful granddaughters, Kathleen Pippins and Bethany Anderson. You´re not sick anymore, Bill, so just rest in Jesus! Kathleen (Kathy) Welch

Bill was my friend and for a few years my son-in-law. He was a very hard worker and was loved by many of his coworkers and customers. Bill enjoyed playing golf and we fished together a few times. He was always ready to do anything that was asked of him to help anyone. He was the father of two of my grandchildren. I only saw him a few times the last few years but was always glad to spend a few minutes talking with him. I will miss running up with him on occasions even if just to say hello.

Bill was my friend and for a time my son-in-law and the father of two of my grandchildren. He was a hard worker and loved by many of his coworkers and customers. He enjoyed playing golf and we fished together a few times. I did not see him much the last few years but I am going to miss the occasional times we saw him out in public places. Rest In Peace Bill.
