My brother Knight and friend, it’s always hard to express your feelings at a time like this and so hard to think you are no longer with us , I pray for Diane and family on this occasion and the Lord our God reach out to them in there time of need, Love you and will miss you
Diane,
Our prayers are with you! Bill was a very personal friend as you and Bill were wonderful neighbors. We lost track of a lot of our friends when we moved to Austin to be close to our son. We have missed you and Bill. Was a surprise to hear that Bill had passed away. He will be missed! Diane, our phone number is 830-708-6173 should you want to chat. I do not have a phone number to call you.
May God be with you! Love, Herman and Betty Sabrsula
My deep condolences and prayers to the Brown Family. Bill was a special person with a quick wit and a positive attitude. I will always remember the fun (and brotherhood) working with him on the K/C breakfasts, hearing the stories dealing with Father Wasser as they hunted together, and laughing at the banter between John and him. He was a good man.
Diane,
My deepest sympathies. You and Bill were such a sweet couple. I saw first hand all the care and love y’all had for each other. I really enjoyed my chats with Bill and seeing you stop by when you would visit. Please know that I am praying for you and that Bill will missed dearly.
