Tuning Family,
Sorry to hear of your loss. Bill and Janeen were very dear friends from way back. Janeen and I taught together at Meadow Lane School in Lincoln. Even though there has been many miles between us, we have always kept in touch and visited each other. I saw Bill last June when I was in Lincoln and called him on his birthday in May. We always shared many laughs when talking about old times. Bill had worlds of patience with Janeen and me. Goodbye to a great friend!
With sincere sympathy!

Rest in peace Bill. I still have great memories playing football against you in grade school and playing in your dad's grocery warehouse. I will always remember you and Jim as a two some.

Bill was a very nice man! He had quite a unique sense of humor & was always a welcome addition to the morning coffee group at the local café. Rest in peace, Bill!
