I was so sorry to hear about Bill Carius passing away. I remember Billie as a warm, funny and caring friend. I think of him every time I make the salad dressing he gave me the recipe for, so he's thought of at least once every other month. My condolences to his family and friends.

It was sad to hear of Bill's I was sorry to hear of Bill's passing and my condolences to his family. Bill was the kind of guy that caused you to start to smile just seeing him because you just knew laughter was not far behind. I liked that about him and know others did as well.Carl Jensen
Bill was one of my best friends in high school. He was a really a nice guy with a wicked sense of humor. Loved going to the stock car races at the Davenport and Moline fair grounds with him. I always looked forward to trying to catch up with him when I visted Moline. Condolences to his family I know he is terribly missed by all who knew him.
