Doc/Pete So sorry to hear about Bill. It reminds me once again how many years I have felt the people of Elcho have been part of my family as well. As I share in your loss my thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Always enjoyed seeing Bill when we were in Redfield hunting pheasants. He will be missed.
Only met Bill and his family once while on a trip with one of Bill's best friends Bryan Maas. From that one week staying at Bill's parents house I could tell what a wonderful person he was and such a loving family he had. May you rest in peace and god be with you
Bill will be missed by all his hunting buddies hear in South Dakota. I miss my friend of all these years. I will be thinking of you Bill when Pheasant season comes this year. May your family have peace knowing you were loved by so many.
We are sorry to hear about Bill. Sending our thoughts and prayers. Collin Wagner & Family
