Sheila, Beloved Comrade,

Pat and I grieve with you in this time of loss and sorrow, but we also dare to rejoice at the amazing life that you and Bill have had together. That smile of his could light up a stadium at midnight on the dark of the moon. Surely it will light your path from here on.

I reckon we are always here for you and you are stuck with us...

"Billy Boy" was like a little brother. His disposition was a model. I have no unpleasant memories of him. I am so fortunate that he was a part of my life and family. I miss not being able to vist with the whole family. Billy's uncle Lowell

I agree with all the characterizations of Bill above--his quick wit and smile, friendliness. As a fraternity brother with Bill at LRU / UALR,I want to add that Bill was a leader. He was selected to be an officer in our chapter, and he did a good job. My condolences to the Glasscock family. "Glassy" will be missed.

Sheila, words are not enough to help you and your family at this time, but remembering the good times (and there were many) surrounded by family and friends may help. Bill was a great guy, and we were lucky to have the opportunity to know him. Sorry we've been out of touch these last years!

I've known Bill 6 years and I've always admired his wit, his laugh, and his love of life. I will miss him. He never failed to say a hearty hello to me and it was always heart felt and received.

I once heard the quote "There is nothing that can't be fixed with either duct tape or a positive attitude." If everyone had Bill's positive attitude, we'd have a world that was problem free. He will be missed, but the attitude is still walking around in Sheila, Billy and others we haven't had the opportunity to know. You all have our love. Steve and Barbara

I grew up with Bill and remember many, many stories of his escapades at Central High School. What fun we had.

Then I had the privilege and honor of working with Bill for a number of years. It was one of the grand experiences of my life. Bill was FUN. He was loyal and dedicated and always did the right thing. What a fine man. I always looked up to Bill, and I will always remember him with with love, affection and friendship.

I send my condolences to his family on your loss of this wonderful man. When I think of your father, husband and friend, I feel real love in my heart for him. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry to hear about Bill. I went to high school with him over 55 years ago and the first thing I throught of when I read about his passing was the fact that he always had a smile on his face. He was probably one of the most sincere people that I ever met. I know he will be greatly missed. My throughts and prayers will be you.

Dear Family,
Being a gynecologist , I never got to know the husbands as well as the females in the family, but Bill was one of those guys you don't forget.
I know how much you loved him and will do so always. Know that his strong spirit remains with you now and will forever. May the peace of God be with you and your family.

June, Gene, Ginny, and Frances,

I'm so sorry to hear about Bill. Growing up, y'all were my other family, and I was sort of the 3rd twin sometimes. Bill was always so funny, and I enjoyed his sense of humor. He will be missed.

I wish I could be there, but you know I'll be there in spirit. You're all in my prayers.

Love, Cindy
