Anne Powell wrote a sympathy message

“I'm so very sorry to hear of the passing of uncle Bill. I had a bad feeling when I didn't hear back after sending his birthday email. He was probably the most influential father figure in my life. I will cherish the memories. I'm so grateful he ended up with Bonnie and had the family he always truly deserved. The love and compassion they shared for animals in need is something to be admired. The world needs so much more of that. God bless all his loved ones. Love, Annie Powell”
