Dear Cathiejo and family:
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of you dear loved one, Bill. Mrs. Carter, and his 3 daughters please accept my deepest sympathies.
I had been Bill’s hairdresser in Oil City for many years. I enjoyed each one of his visits and hearing his adventures in going to the many auctions and collecting his Elvis memoribilia. His family, the 3 girls were especially dear to him. He spoke very highly of all of you. Bill enjoyed his retirement as he was permitted, and that really meant so much to him. That is so great to see !!!!!
I will miss Bill. He was always very good to me, and a gentleman to everyone. May you take comfort in knowing Bill is well and blessed as he is recieved into the loving and healing arms of his Savior. May God be with each one of you and his extended family as you mourn the loss of Bill.

So sorry we could not make it to the visitation. We are soooo sorry for your loss. Bill was a co-worker and friend. CathyJo and family – our deepest sympathy.
Dear Cathy, I wish to offer my condolences to you on your loss of Billy. I have known Billy since early childhood & he never changed. Always quiet mannered and soft spoken. It seemed like our usual meetings took place in Shop n Save or Giant Eagle. We always shared some time together. You, please take care of yourself & if there is anything at all that I can do for you. Just give me a shout. I was telling “B” last night & told her that you & I go back a longs ways. 1960 seems so long ago. You take care Dear & I will keep you in my Prayers. Love & Prayers*** LaVerne
