It’s been years since I saw Bill, but I always remember he was smiling and cracking jokes. Best wishes to Jeff, Amy, and your family from the Myers.

We are so sorry for your loss, Jeff! Your dad was such a blessing to us in so many ways, especially when we arrived in KC and knew nobody and had nothing. Your parents invited us into their home for meals, loved on us and encouraged us. They also helped us buy and sell our homes. I am so happy that we will see them again someday and I would have loved to see their reunion and their meeting with their precious savior. God bless you in your time of sorrow. Much love!

Both of your parents were wonderful people. I worked with your Mom for ten years at Oak Park and your parents helped sell my Mom’s home. Both were so kind and exhibited true Christian values. They will be greatly missed.
I accidentally found out that Alice passed away about 6 months after the fact. I felt terrible about it because your Mom was such a friend to me at Oak Park and I didn’t have the chance to pay my respects. She was a great lady and your Dad was a true gentleman.

My thoughts & prayers go out to all the Young Family.
I was fortunate to work with Bill many times through the years when I was with Re/Max for 30 years, helping our clients buy/sell the house of their choice.
Bill was a Hornet grad like myself. Always friendly with a smile. RIP Bill
