Jeremiah 31:13
Then maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
Your father is in pure comfort and joy now. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Jim, Rosalie and your family.
Kolette and Jim Koch

Jim, and Rosalie, and Family...we are so sorry to hear the news.
Bill was always such a gentleman. We know the difficulities he experienced recently, and althought modest in stature, he was a giant in personality and grace and style. We have such great memories of our visits with him, and especially the "cheers" we shared over lunch at "Bobby's"! We always went to Bobby's!!!

“Because I have loved life,
I shall have no sorrow to die.” Amelia Burr

My father had a special light that touched so many people, I know it will continue to shine forever.

My father was my biggest hero and I have always wished to be more like him. My father was amazingly strong, cleverly funny, abundantly caring and warm. He had a capacity for seeing the positive and pointing out the good in everything. He loved me unconditionally.

To the most diplomatic, even-tempered Mayor of the city, the bravest of amusement park participants, and the most considerate conversationalist I will ever know.... You made it so simple to love you, Grandpa, and I will miss you dearly.

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
For part of us went with

We will miss our best friend and biggest supporter. No matter how uncomfortable you became, you would always ask, "how are you feeling Jimmie...Rosalie...? I worry about you".

You loved sports - your Seminoles and the Bucs. Weekends during football season will be lonely. There will be a void in our hearts forever. Love, Jim and Rosalie

We were very saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Bill. Even though in past years, personal contact has been somewhat infrequent, family - and especially Uncle Bill - have always been in our thoughts and memories.
Leith, especially, has many fond memories of Uncle Bill, Aunt Myra (and her Mom and Pop), and all family members.
He also remembers the "ringing of the bells" on Christmas Eve. Perhaps that is why he continued the same tradition with his

He was the most giving, thoughtful, and excepting person you ever met. His smile and hugs made you feel special. It was a great honor to know him, and he will be greatly missed!
