Mike my deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your family. I remember when we served together at Offutt how you would speak so proudly of your father. What a great life and legacy.
Remembering Bob at Mass tomorrow and praying for you Kay and all the family. God be with you.
Kay, Cathy and family: I am deeply sorry for your loss and I was unable to attend the visitation or services..
Somehow I missed this until now (November). I have such fond memories of your dad. He was a dignified and disciplined man; an example for others. May your happy memories make your heart smile and the knowledge there is a life beyond this earthly one that he now enjoys. Prayers for all of the Williams family. Love to you all.
