Sorry for your loss. We always have a smile on our face thinking about your Dad. He definitely had a way about him.Dave remember s working on the farm with him and one thing he stressed was always check the oil before starting the tractor if you forgot he would kick your ass around the tractor. Dave has a lot of memory of growing up with all of on the farm. Good to know that your Dad is with your Mom. God Bless all of you.
I am so sorry I couldn’t be with you all today. I loved Uncle Bill and the way he always made you feel special. I feel, the passing of Uncle Bill heralds the end of an era. My deepest condolences to the whole family. There is a place in my heart that will always miss Uncle Bill, Aunt Martha and visits to their farm..
So sorry to read Bills obit in the paper..So much time has passed since we were neighbors at the farm but that doesn’t mean your Dad and Mom and you kids were forgotten by us.. I lost Rolly last August as well. Just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. Such wonderful memories of your folks.
My love to all of you. JANET
Alec & Heidi, love and support are being sent your way from all the Kingsleys for this somber transition in your family. Words are feeble in expressing my sorrow for the loss of your dad. I hope that family bonds are strengthened as you’ve come together to celebrate his life. Much love, Chelsey, John, Quinn, Wren & Forrest
Paula,
My deepest sympathies on your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our condolences to all of you. Bill’s friendship with my dad and our family is a wonderful memory. Having coffee and a goodie around your kitchen table always brought up many incredible conversations. He was such a wonderful man.
Our deepest condolences to the family. Bill and Martha were family to us when we first moved to the area. They were always there to help us if asked. Their dairy farm supplied us with milk for our children and also introduced them to many different animals like their pet deer and owl that lived in their trees. We have many fond memories of our time spend with Bill, Martha and family. Sending love and wishing your many treasured memories will comfort you ..❤️💕
