There is no dout Mr. Bill is in heaven. I was very greatful to have a great conversation recently with him from talking about the old days of the Weyco logging jobs where he got to be great friends with my dad who he thought a lot of, to the present times of logging. We also talked about how great Jesus was in that conversation. With that being said he steady told me in that conversation to continue looking up because Jesus has all of us! His faith & belief in Jesus was strong. The JD store will never be the same without Mr. Bill. Until we meet again my friend! Prayers sent to the Sumner family. Keep looking up, Jesus has us!

CL, Very very sorry to hear about the passing of Bill. I know he will be missed by so many in the community. I know he’ll be looking down on us doing basketball, football and baseball season and he’ll be pulling for the Wolfpack!! Prayers for you my friend

Sending condolences to C.L. I am saddened by the passing of Bill, and he will be missed by many. I have fond memories of " hanging out" with the two of you back in the days. RIP Bill.

C.L. I'm sorry for your loss. Bill was a fun boss and friend. Over the years we developed a true friendship and I enjoyed working, talking and laughing with him. There won't be a day that I will not walk into that building and not think of Bill.

So sorry to hear about Bill. Always checked with him about contacting a new band. He was such a great guy!! Rest in peace friend.

C.L., I am so sorry to hear you have lost your brother. I did not know him but apparently those who knew him, loved him so. He will live in your heart always.

C.L., Mary Ann and I are so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I can only imagen the emptiness you must feel. Bill's life in our eyes it seems ended much too soon. But God gives and takes away, and makes no mistake. You are in our thoughts and prayers, David and Mary Ann

David & I will Cherish the times we had with you Bill. Gone to soon.

Always a friendly face at a music festival and a Wolfpack fan….Rest in Peace, Bill. And know C.L. that you have much support and prayers from both areas.

Bill would always go out of his wake to get Colby and I a part. He was a great person you would like automatically. He will be missed dearly. RIP my friend.

Bill was always kind and respectful and a 1st class individual. You left us way too soon!! Rest in peace!!

Sending extra big hugs and prayers of comfort, strength and peace. ✝️

There are some people in this world that you feel "honored" to know them and call them your friend. Bill was definitely one of those people. Milton and I were so glad to have so many good memories of us together. We will treasure them forever. C.L. You were also very lucky to have such a unique, strong bond with your brother. Hang on to the wonderful times you shared together. Bill is now looking out for you from above but he will live in your heart forever. God bless you !

A good person, gone too soon. Always had a smile for everyone and I know the best brother CL could have ever wished for. Bill you will be missed by so many

CL and Family, Sending condolences in the passing of Bill. He will be greatly missed by all. Now he will be watching over us with his own big band in the sky! Sincerely, Bill and Elizabeth Harrell

C.L., sorry for your loss. But God has another angel in Heaven. Bill has the checkered flag now!
