Bill was an amazing brother, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend. He was active in the
community and was never able to sit still. He loved sports, camping, fishing, and most of all being

My sincere condolences to all the families and friends. Bill was a good man, father and friend. I knew him a long time though the Eskildsens and it was always good to see him. He was friendly and honestly cared how you were, not just small talk when he asked. You will be missed by so many people. RIP Bill, may you have God’s Grace.
