“Bill was a coworker at Michaels. He was friendly and easy going. every shift I had, he was there. First face I saw before my shift and I would always say goodbye before I left if he was still there. He was there to lend an ear. A man I considered one of my bestest of friends My favorite memory of Bill was when it was Christmas time and he was ‘Santa’. His cheerful spirit brought a smile to my face”

“I only known Bill for a short time around eight months. I enjoyed working with him at Michaels. Bill always could make me smile with his kind words. I loved at Christmas he dressed as Santa Claus. I remember a child looking at him as Bill put his arm around me for a selfie. I asked the little boy if he would like a picture with Santa Claus and he shook his head no. His father told him that Santa was watching him. Bill let out a huge laugh and the little boys eyes got so big. Bill will be missed dearly at Michaels. We all love you Bill.”

“Bill aka Uncle Bill was a family member. That’s how much we loved him. We were going to go to Sandusky this year together with my boyfriend and my son Josh. He was just sitting on my couch Tuesday morning before 5 am talking about his alignment. Told him to go to the ER. Stubborn man. God had other plans for him. His dad, brother, and partner were waiting on him. Bill will be missed deeply at our family functions and family get togethers. His birthday is my mother’s birthday. I will remember him most definitely at there Heavenly Birthday. RIP you lovely caring man. Till we meet again.”
