I will always remember the good times we had growing up together and our children growing up together love my brother and will miss him
So sorry for your loss prayers for everyone.
Had the pleasure of working with Bill twice in my career—once, when he first came to work at ITT Continental Baking (Wonder/Hostess) in Wheeling, and then 14 years later when he was instrumental in hiring me at Nickles Bakery. So long for now, Bill—-I’m sure that right now you are working at getting more shelf space up there! To the family: Had we not retired and moved to North Carolina, I would have been honored to attend the services.
So very sorry for your loss. My daughter Angel and I saw Bill last year. Bill was a very nice man he will be missed.
May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time,
May you come to know that the love of God is with you always,
May your memories of William L. Icenhour, Sr., give you peace, comfort and strength…
Rest now in the arms of our Lord your mission on earth is complete.
I thank you for your service to our Country and my Freedom. You will not be forgotten..
