“Mr Hoo” was the BEST customer I ever waited on.He always had a genuine and contagious smile on his face-I can see it right now! He made the effort to connect with every person in the room -you could tell because everyone would be smiling by the time he walked out the door-Hoover Magic. I can’t believe he has left this world but I know he is in paradise with his beloved Bonnie who he smiled about most of all.

I met Bonnie and Bill at St. Clare Church, 4:30 p.m. Saturday Mass. I usher at the Mass, and always looked forward to seeing them there. I look forward to seeing them again one day!

Bull was a great man! Loved talking football with him at Ups. Had the pleasure of his company at my annual scholarship dinner with Bernie Kosar couple years ago. He loved everyone especially the kids that he routed for at the games he would keep stats at etc. Heaven gained a good one ! God bless the family!

Ron and family,
I was unable to attend today and yesterday because of high school basketball, but wanted to share that Bill absolutely was the nicest man I ever met. I worked for Bill in the 80s at Solon Rec and he was the most caring individual ever. He will truly be missed. Ron, I only met you a few times but remember the friendship you two had. I was privileged to have worked for and been a friend of Bill’s. My condolences to you and the whole family.
