To all the very large etsell family You have my deepest condolences. The tears started the minute I heard. It seemed that I had just spoken to Bill. I'm blessed we spoke often, plus got to visit him at home. I'm so glad I always took a picture when I was with him to now have to add to the many from years and years of different times going to different places. Recently he also used his huge heart as my mom was passing and told me things he said to say to her. He also new soon as she went to heaven and said beautiful kind words to get me through. I'm sure my mom appreciated all the kindness he always showed her as well. She adored him. I'm guessing it's about 38 -39 years. He was introduced to me as Billy at superior and for me it stuck . I try to call him bill but old habits are hard to stop. I have so many great memories of the past our little group going to friday night suppers ,grandforks or Fargo.a Vegas trip around my bday. Auctions, car shows. Some great parties. Bill was always so kind ,gentle and sweet to my family and I. It will be hard to not pick up the phone and chat or shoot a text. I was blessed to pop by the house , the last time the Xmas tree was still up. He said turn on the lights . He wanted me to see how beautiful it was. Just like every year done perfectly stunning. He really enjoyed it alot. He's been a great source of encouragement for me dealing with my mom going to heaven as he knew she was and is my world which crashed. Now I feel the extra sorrow of not having him here as well. I know you all and he would say he's gone home now. I believe he's finally able to do what he hasn't for so long. Plus being with your mom who was also very kind to me . I know he missed her always to. I've prayed and asked my mom to go see him when God grabbed him in his arms. I know after your mom my mom will get a hug I asked Bill to pass on from me in my prayers . Bill I know your seeing now how much love so many of us have for you. I hope you always felt that when you were still with us , that will never stop. You will always be a huge part of our lives, of my life. Thank you for always being there for me in your way. You were truly a blessing for me. Now I believe you got your angel wings well earned and deserved. So fly freely my friend. You will be in my heart forever. May God bless you and bless all your family that I know this will be extremely hard on. Your one heck of a guy. Missing you like crazy already. The table in heaven has just added another with connection to superior. I know you'll be catching up with everyone who has gone before. You will never be forgotten. Till we meet again my dear Billy. When I come when it's my time please come and give me a hug again to. Love always the cookie girl Rita.

My husband and I were so very sad to hear of Bill‘s passing. As a friend of his sister Heather‘s, I’ve known Bill 40 years and it’s hard to accept that he’s gone. He was a lovely and generous man, particularly in caring for his parents. His wealth of knowledge regarding cars and technology was impressive and very generously shared it with anyone in need. His passing leaves a sad hole in the family now and our prayers go out to them. A life gone far too young. Bill, may you find peace in the arms of the Lord. God bless, Deborah & Bill Campbell
