Alice, Bill and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of sorrow. God Bless….
I worked with Bill at the Highway Dept. He had a strong personality and was quite mischievious as well. He will be missed.
The class of Waco High School of 1952 remembers Bill and extend our deepest sympathy to his family.
Dear Aunt Alice and family,
I have many great memories of summers in Waco at Uncle Bill’s house. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Light and Love,
Kelly
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sadness.
I was so sorry to find out about your dad. He was a wonderful person and a joy to be around. He always made me laugh and think. He will be missed dearly, but know he is in a better place and happy. "Time heals all things" or so they tell me, but someone who touches our lives are never forgotten. Bless all of you and his lovely smile and memory will live on.
Sincerely,

William P. Brewer, Bill as I knew him, grabbed me by the collar on my first day at TxDOT in September of 1969 and gave me direction. I’m ever grateful. A remarkable man, forever in my thoughts and prayers. You will be missed.
I’ll always remember grandpa and everything he has taught me.
