Aunt Henny, Sharon, Susan and Steve- So sad to hear the news of Uncle Bill. He will always be remembered here in SLC for making the long trip to attend our wedding in 1978. He stayed in the Carlton hotel which I passed by on my way to work for years, and every time thought of him. Our thoughts are with you all, Best, John and Michelle Shuttleworth

We are so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. We have known Bill as our neighbor on Parker Drive for nearly 24 years. We shared many pleasant evenings full of lively conversation with Bill, Henny, and Steve over the years. We fondly remember Bill's good sense of humor and the sound of his infectious laughter. We will miss him as a friend and as our neighbor. We send our deepest sympathy to Henny, Sharon, Susan, and Steven for their loss. Best regards, Helen and Craig Ezell
