To the Edmunds Family – I was so sorry to hear today of the passing of Bill. When I worked in Communications in Long valley – Bill and I worked together. We had many good times and many funny stories. I pray he is with the Lord now and May God watch over his family.

Dear Edmunds Family
I was saddened to read of Bill’s passing, the guy was a perpetual worker, and as the obituary notes, many careers.
I first met him while working for Williams & Hibler, he was just a very personable person, hard not not like.
Liked stopping by and talking to him in the garage at the corner of Miller & Lafayette.
Our words will fall very short in easing your pain, so we ask our FATHER in Heaven to comfort you all, through Christ Jesus our LORD.
In Christ alone
Paul

Beautiful service for Bill. What a wonderful family. We regret not seeing enough of them over the years. It looks like Bill and “Becky”‘ kids are doing as great a job raising their families as Bill and Becky did. He’ll rest easily watching from above.
