Dr. Hawkins was a wonderful man! I worked for him for over 10 years and he was nothing but kind and caring and a great dentist. He will be missed by all.

To the Hawkins Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

What a lovely obituary for Uncle Bill -- full of memories and information about his wonderful career in the field of dentistry. You all must be proud of his accomplishments. My husband, Jim, joins me in sending our prayers and condolences to the extended Hawkins family. Hopefully we can all attend a Udall family reunion this upcoming summer and renew our acquaintances. With love, your cousin, Lyn Udall Fisher.
