We were neighbors growing up. I was Kenny's age. Billy was always such a good guy that helped his mom raise the younger kids. He was always such a kind, soft spoken man that was very loving and caring. Prayers for all the family. He will be sorely missed in this world. Grace will have another of her children with her.

I will miss Mr. Wilmoth, I was only blessed to know him for a short amount of time but I was forever moved by his love for his family. I will always remember Mr. Wilmoth planting sunflowers around his garden and often wondered why, but now I know.... Sunflower has been considered a symbol of joy and life, This flower radiates passion and positivity. The sunflower puts itself in position to directly receive the sun's gaze. It symbolizes faith and adoration for ALL that is, because of this the sunflower is often regarded as a very spiritual flower. They are therefore a symbol of true faith and loyalty to something that is much bigger and brighter than themselves. Bill Wilmoth you are my friend that in every way, you are a Sunflower. You radiate with love for your family and friends. I will miss you. My prayers go out to your family and friends. I pray that God will bless them Serenity.

I will always remember Bill as being kind, intelligent, hard working and jovial. I think he could repair about anything, grow plants and trees from starts or cuttings and was always pleasant and laughing even if he was having a hard day. Bill taught me a saying I think of quite often; "There's something good about everyday, you just have to find it". He loved Jude and his family a lot and I will always have great respect and love for the man who named me and will miss him an awful lot. Thank you Bill for all the happy memories you brought into our lives and the things you taught us along the way.
