Bill Itzel… You are now up in heaven with Elsie. She is lucky to have another friend join her there. I know you will be waiting for Lou. But, please, don’t take her too soon! Your sons need her here on earth for a while longer.
May you rest in peace. God bless you and your family. I will hold all of you in my prayers. You will be missed.
Gary and Scott were both correct when they said on their facebook pages that you were the BEST dad! I totally agree with that!

Cherish your wonderful memories of him.
You have my deepest sympathy.
