Bill, I sat at work this morning thinking about the past and I thought about you. I miss your laughter and voice whenever I called CFS "weenug is this you poog" lol. I have fond memories of us partying around driving to English Brook, scraping up money to buy a six pack. Oh goodness I miss you my old friend. - Posted by: Elma Arthruson (Friend) on: Jun 29, 2015

On December 22nd, 2003 my life changed forever.....this was the day I met William. The most kindest, gentle & giving person I had ever met. William brought something out in me that no one was ever able to do...my true self. William helped me & other people feel more comfortable with themselves by using his humor and infectious laugh!! He was truly a unique person. I will miss his singing, especially while we were in the car, where he often got me singing along too. I found myself listening to some of our favorite songs in the past few days.... I can't believe he is gone!! William and I have had ups & downs in the past 10 yrs, but I would give anything to just hold his hand one more time, as I had done many times in the past and tell him everything is going to be alright. My sincere condolences to William's family, friends & co-workers. Southeast will never be the same.... I will see you again William, I love you always & forever!!!!! <3 - Posted by: Trevor (Former relationship/friend) on: Nov 25, 2013

William Seymour or Bill... For the time, I spent with you, I want to thank you for taking the time to share intimate and private moments with me. I will never forget your loving, kind, generous and way of bringing up people. The compliements and way of making people feel wonderful about themselves were indeed a rare trait to have, and Bill... you had this!! As your cousin and friend, I want you to remain remembered as the loving and caring person you were! Your laughter is a rare laugh and will always be remembered. I will never forget our conversations and fits of laughing at ourselves and our experiences. I'm sure there are many who share these experiences with you, but it is our moments that I will never forget and want you to always know, I love you no matter what. As you once said to me, never forget our good times and I know there was many. Billy and I will say in closing, till we meet again my dear friend... I love you Forever! - Posted by: SHAVON SINCLAIR (Cousin) on: Nov 23, 2013

William and I had been friends for 15 years. He was always happy to see you and gave hugs and kisses. He loved to joke and poke fun, but not once was his teasing ever to insult you or anyone else. He loved to dance especially when 80's music came on, he would do this 80's dance move and we would just laugh but keep dancing. I am going to miss him so much, I will never delete our last conversation we had. I love you Bill... - Posted by: Lisa Young (Friend) on: Nov 20, 2013

He was our hero when there was a fire in my daughter Lily's (friend of William's) building when Selah (Lily's baby) was a newborn. He & Pete banged on our door, then he (William) carried the newborn Selah down 11 flights of stairs to safety. I was always happy to see him... he will be missed - Posted by: Christina Everett (Aquaintance) on: Nov 20, 2013

Although Will and I drifted apart in friendship in our older age, he and I spent a lot of time together in Seymourville...We would visit often; chatting about life, relationships, practicing our jigging steps :), swimming, walking about, daydreaming about fashionable clothing lol...and of course, what he was so talented at doing - fixing my hair :) Will was a loyal, trustworthy, loving, caring, humorous, compassionate friend...no one could ask for anything more. Life got in the way but I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to grow up with him in seymourville. I will always cherish the many many awesome memories of our friendship and I will carry them in my heart always. Will continues to show me while on his journey to heaven - how important it is to really love one another and to make time to love and laugh with each other...We must keep it simple hey Will? :) we shall dance again soon my friend! - Posted by: Mel Laferine (Friend) on: Nov 20, 2013

William was a kind and generous man, he had many talents among them was his deep and beautiful singing voice. He also had a talent for styling hair and he would quite easily "fix" the hair of an entire bridal party if asked. William was also very stylish in his attire he would take care to be fashionable and always up on the trends. He had a quick wit and an infectious sense of humour. He left us far too early but I am grateful and will cherish the time we shared together. - Posted by: MUD () on: Nov 19, 2013
