My Uncle Bill was courageous and strong in his battle against cancer, but I'll remember him for his kindness and easy, contagious smile. I'll miss him and never forget him.
I wish love, warmth and peace for the family. He'll be with all of us this Christmas.

Bill was special to me. He always made me feel I was part of the Davis family by offering great warmth and caring. Besides being my brother-in-law, he was my friend and I will keep his kindness in my heart. To Linda, Natalie and Leslie, I offer my heartfelt sympathy.
Bill is my brother.
His special light will be carried forth by a family that loves him dearly.
Blessings on Linda, Natalie, and Lesley.
We first met Bill and Linda in Lockport, Il. Bill was always a very special and kind person. Our paths with Texaco crossed several times, and it was always a pleasure working with Bill. We wish Linda and the family God's compassion and love during this difficult time.
Bill had such a sweet & caring soul. I wish he could have stayed here with us all longer, but it was time for him to leave his temporary home & go home to the Father. He touched so many lives & left us all with wonderful memories. I will miss talking with him & seeing his great big smile when the families gather together on special occasions. I believe he is in a much better place now with a new, pain-free & glorious body. He will be missed very much. Just know that I am praying for peace & understanding for Linda, Natalie, Lesley, and all his other loved ones.

What a treat to get to talk and email with Bill this past summer after his high school's class of '66 reunion. Bill grew up 2 houses from mine, & we played on an all-star baseball team in little league. In fact, he went with our family on a vacation that was part of playing in the state finals. He was a very nice person, and what struck me recently was the tremendous courage he had even in illness. Our thoughts and prayers to the family.
My deepest sympathy to the family. Bill will be missed, but never forgotten. May he "Rest in Peace".
Sincerely,
Juanita(Dental Asst.)
