On behalf of the Dearness Family, our condolences to you Charlotte with Tom, and Brenda with Harald, along with your immediate and extended family. Bill was a quiet and gentle man whose faith, love for family and the enjoyment of friends remained strong. May the Peace of God, the love of family and the joy of friends surround you all at this time.

~ Rev. Paul Knauer, Chaplain at Dearness

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to know Bill over the last several years through his immediate family. He was a very kind and gentle man who loved all his family deeply and who enjoyed the company of all who knew him. May God bless all those who mourn the loss of this wonderful, caring person in their earthly life, but who lives on in the hearts of all who loved him. God be with you.

~ Phyllis (family friend)
