Bill was truly a gentle giant. He was always very kind, caring, very patient, and helpful with a very good sense of humor. He is gone to soon. He will be missed. But God felt it was time to call him home. Barb, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Bill was very welcoming to me when I joined the family. I enjoyed the time we spent grill out during family get-togethers. He was a caring person who will be missed.

"Uncle" Bill was a wonderful addition to our family, and we so enjoyed having him at our family events. He was a kind and gentle man with an easy smile and good sense of humor. I was able to see him days before his passing and am so grateful to have been able to say good-bye. Barb, you are in our prayers, and we are here for you!

We have only known you both for such a short time but know Bill was a good man, great husband, and good friend. His presence will be missed. He fought a hard fight and now we hope he is able to finally Rest In Peace.

Bill was a kind and helpful person. He would go far out of his way to help a family member in need. He was truly a second father to me, and always wished the best for me and my family. Gone too soon, you will be missed.

I was so lucky to have Bill as an "uncle" and will miss him dearly. We love you, Barb, and are thinking of you during this tough time. We all remain very grateful for all the good times with Bill!

Bill was such a kind, gentle, loving man ... a perfect match for you, Barb! I always enjoyed your interactions together. Bill had such a subtle sense of humor, and matched with yours, there was always a lot of laughter. I'm so proud of your dedication and devotion to him especially during these last months. I know it was an exhausting time for you, but your love for him kept you going. It just occurred to me that you now have two "Williams" in heaven together! Perhaps they'll keep each other in line! God bless you each and every day. And remember, I'm just a text away!

Jenny and I want to extend our sympathy to you, Barb, and all in the Ripple and Carson families. Bill was a fine man with a gentle and strong spirit, always willing to help others. Sixty-six years of life and seventeen years of marriage to you, Barb, was just too short.
Barb, you have many friends and family that love you and will continue to support you... in conversation with God and in conversation with you.
Phil
