My dear Esther,
I was greatly saddened by the news of your beloved Bill passing. Though our paths did not often cross, I do remember Bill well as a substitute teacher at Southview High. He was always kind to the students and shared many a funny story with fellow teachers in the lounge. He made us all laugh! I think that that is how I will remember him, laughing from ear to ear, teasing, and a wink in his eye. I am sure that even now the sound of Heaven's angels is echoing through paradise as he recounts the funniest moments of his life with friends, students, and family. Let us not forget that, "He fought the good fight. He
finished the course. He kept the faith...Henceforth a crown of righteousness will be laid upon him." God bless you and your family, Esther. May his memory live in your heart and soul and turn the tears you shed today to smiles, as I am sure he would want.
Joe and Marti Skarupa
