Tributes & Memories

We are sorry for your loss and send our sincere condolences

Richard and Darla Crownover

I have been blessed to have been a very close friend of Bill and Lu my entire life. We attend church together and would go to lunch after church every Sunday. Bill was always there to fix anything that was broke for my parents. Bill loved to golf and I know that he is on the golf course in Heaven. Last week when my husband and I went to see Bill he was waiting for Lu to get there. When she walked in he said, "There is my sweetheart". He loved her very much and told my husband and I why he chose to work the shift at work that he did because he wanted to see his kids. Bill was one of the first people that I had ever seen that could do the Rubicks Cube in a matter of minutes. I will cherish the memories that I have of Bill for the rest of my life. I will miss him greatly. Lu, I love you with all of my heart and know that you know this. You are the greatest and Bill was a very blessed and pampered man and he knew it. We teased him in the nursing home about not getting the care and food that he was used to and he said that he sure missed that and knew that he was spoiled. I will be there for you for anything and thank you for always being there for me. I love you, Kimberly Geiger Oswald
