Our deepest sympathies to Bill’s family and friends. Bill was our good friend, a great pilot and is missed more than words can express.
We are so sorry to learn of your loss. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.
I was very saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. Although I had not seen Bill much in recent years, mainly saw him at high school reunions, he was a classmate I always admired. Bill was always friendly to those around him and quick to laugh at a humorous event. I remember Bill as a person dedicated to whatever undertaking he pursued. He would be there if you needed someone to talk to. He had his head on straight and always seemed to do the right thing. I will miss Bill the rest of my life and regret that I didn’t have more opportunities to spend time with him in recent years. I have many pleasant memories of Bill during our growing up years and will cherish those.
We send our deepest sympathy
to the Cole family. I have many fond memories of the Coles as a child. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I am very sorry to hear of Bills loss and send my symphay to Judy, Cy and family
VERY SAD NEWS. OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO JUDY, CY AND THE FAMILY. WE WILL ALL MISS BILL, ESPECIALY AT THE MONDAY LUNCH BUNCH MEETING.
We are very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. We have many fond memories of Bill during our High School years and then in our married and child raising years. During High School I spent many wonderful hours with the Cole family and have nothing but happy memories. It is good to reflect and be thankful for all of the good times that we had together with Bill. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Cole family.
Bill, a man with vision, drive for a cause, with ability to take action. Truely an inspiration.
Judy, may you & your loved ones carry on with greater strength because of Bill’s spirit & your faith.
