    Bill, I haven't seen you since you left Cook,but I wanted to say how sorry I am to hear of your father's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

    To Bill's Family: I didn't know Bill as much as my mom, her family, and my in-laws' families knew him; but I really enjoyed his sense of humor when I did get to talk to him! My mother and her siblings are first cousins to Bill and my in-laws' families grew up in the "old neighborhood" with him. I know you will really miss him. May God Bless you as you go through this sad loss.

    Bill & Shirley Kay Today was a sad day for all of us. I wore your shoes 20 years ago when my father passed away. I am thankful for all the years I had with Uncle Bill. He helped me move with his red pickup truck when I was at IU. Got me a job parking cars at football games. But mostly he re-enforced the values that my father taught me. He was a great man and will be greatly missed.But we all still have the memories of the happy times with the entire Conder family. God Bless both of you. Gary Conder

    To Bill's family: I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. I know when I spoke with him recently he got choked up when talking about Aunt Becky. I feel in my heart that he and her are happy and now back together. God bless you.
