Dear Barbara and Family:
I just returned to the area yesterday and I was shocked and sorry to hear that he had passed. He was very helpful to me when I moved from San Antonio to work in the Ft. Lee CPO office. His positve attitude was always evident and I valued him and the advice he gave on MER issues. He will be sorely missed and our thought and prayers are with him and your family.
Your in Christ,

My prayers are with you. Bill was a great person. He kept me out of trouble many times dealing with personnel issues. He always made me laugh and we shared many good times. He will be missed greatly by all he came in contact with.

Lazell and I just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you during these difficult times and loving thoughts are with you and your family. I had the privlege of working directly with Joyce at CPO and now with Bill here at DeCA, they were giants among men! We are your Mt Sinai Rd neighbors and Bill will be missed tremendously by the entire HR staff for his superb professionalism and his huge sense of humor, not to mention that wonderful "tomato" garden

My prayers are with yall.

Barbara and family, after reading all the above messages, you know how much Bill was loved. I have such good memories working in CPO with Joyce and Bill. I remember when Mark was born, Joyce was such a happy grandmother. The times we played soft ball, what fun times we had. Bill will certainly be missed, but he is waiting for us and giving all of us a big smile today. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love to all,
Pat and Don Carnesi

Dear Mrs. Zeiner and family,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I didn't know your husband, your family was a part of mine as Krystal danced with me for many years. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

We were shocked and saddened to hear of Bill's passing. Not long ago, someone came up behind Gay and tapped her on the shoulder, and there was Bill with all smiles. It was great to see him that day. He always had a funny story to relate. He was a big ole boy but had a sweet, soft heart when he would talk about tender spiritual subjects. We know where he is today because of it! It is hard to know why he left so early but we do know whose presence he is in right now. Bless you, Barbara, and family. We have been and will continue to hold you up in prayer. Love in Christ,
Chuck and Gay

I was terribly shocked to hear the news. Time seems to go by quickly for it seems only yesterday we were in the halls of Prince George. Bill was a wonderful person who always had a kind word and encouragement when needed. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Barbara and Family,

I was so saddened to hear of Bill's passing. Fort Lee has lost one of its greatest icons. I looked to Bill as a mentor, coworker, and friend. He always had a smile and his wry sense of humor could knock your socks off. I always acccused him of "being in pursuit of Bambi" and he would always get a chuckle out of that.

I will truly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

God Bless.

Barbara, Brenda and I just learned of Bill's passing. It was a shock to both of us. I last talk to Bill at the last Burrowsville Ruritan club activity. We always talk deer and turkey hunting. Brenda worked for Bill at CPO and he was always there for me during those many years at Fort Lee and living in Prince George County. I retired 2006 from Fort Lee and would see Bill at all the local festivities. He loved his family, his job, his life as an avid hunter and fisherman and just Life. He will greatly be missed.
God Bless you and the entire family. His memories will live with us until we meet him again in The Lord's House.

Goldie and I extend our sincere sympathy to you. It was so good to see him a couple of Sundays ago when he came to meet the bus as we returned from NY. We pray for your comfort from the comforter. Having worked with him at the old CPO and at DeCA, I know of his faith, therefore we take comfort that he is resting in the arms of Jesus.

Dear Barbara and family,
I was so shocked to hear of Bill's passing. He was such a good friend to me as we worked together at CPO. I loved his dry humor. I also fondly remember hearing of his and Fritz's antics from Joyce when she and I worked together in the 60's. May the love of friends give you comfort and may the love of God give you peace.
Lynn Rogers

Barbara and family,
It was such a shock to hear about Bill's death and we wanted to let you know we are thinking about you and your family. Bill was a terrific guy with a great sense of humor and he will be missed terribly. We will treasure the memories of the many parties and New Year's Eve gatherings we had together. We send our deepest sympathy and prayers to you -

To the Zeiner Family:

So sorry to hear about Billy. He was a good friend in High School and throughout the years when we were able to keep in touch. He will be missed by all.

Barbara -

Billy, John Wells, and I were a trio back in high school. Nothing could have separated us then - but the years have done that. We were the best of friends back then and those memories will stay with me forever. Billy was the best!!! In my years since that time I have never met someone like him. He was so unique - as you well know. I am so thankful now that we met again at the PGHS reunion a few years ago. I met you then as well. Please know that my sympathies go out to you and your family. May peace and healing come in time.

Dear Barbara and Family. I was saddened to hear of Bill's passing. I was priviliged to work with him for many years both at Fort Lee CPO and DeCA.He was a valued member of my staff at DeCA and I knew him to be a man of great integrity and honor. I could always count on his advice and counsel. He will be greatly missed and I know he is in a much better place waiting on the rest of us. I fondly remember the piece of the Berlin Wall he brought me on a visit home. We laughed many times together. Susan and I both pray for you and the boys and Krystal. May God be with you all.

Barb, please accept my sincerest condolences on your sudden loss of Bill. Words are little comfort at this time but, thankfully, memories are a comfort. I and our CPO office were very fortunate to have Bill on the staff in the early and mid-80s; I have several pleasant stories of Bill during those times both in the office and on the softball field. I appreciate the times Jean and I were able to spend together with Bill, you, and the family in your trip down to Heidelberg and our trip to West Berlin. And, of course, I really appreciated the box of Berlin Wall remnants he collected for me. May the gracious Lord fill you with peace that comes from your knowing of the 31 years Bill and you spent together and wonderful legacy he – together with you – has left to the rest of us. I’m very grateful and fortunate to have known him.

To the Zeiner family,

We were so sorry to learn of Bill's passing. Bill always took time to share a laugh or talk about whatever. We will truly miss him.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Barb and family,

I was shocked when I saw the notice on the Credit Union Page. I am in Cleveland OH and will not be able to attend the services. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. I will be home in 2 weeks. Remember you are just around the corner. I have so many fun memories of working with Bill and Joyce a CPO.

Mrs. Zeiner,

I was so shocked to hear of Bill's death. During my 13 years with DeCA Europe HR, he was always our go-to guy at HQ, always patient and helpful whatever we asked of him. It was a pleasure to work with him. My deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of such a great guy.

Marguerite Brace

It was with great sadness that Helen and I heard of Bill's passing. Having worked closely with him on a number of issues at the Defense Commissary Agency over the past 18 years, I had the greatest respect for Bill's knowledge and professionalism. His passing is not only a loss to the Zeiner family, but also to DeCA and the Fort Lee community.

Barbara and family
My husband and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. I know how special he was to you and your family. He will be greatly missed. Take comfort in knowing he is in a better place waiting patiently for his family to join him as he basks in the lords love. My prayers are with you and your family as passing is always hardest on those left behind.

Barbara, Mark, Brad, and Krystal. My heart aches with you for the terrible loss your family is enduring. I worked with Bill from the time we started the new agency of DeCA in 1991. He was always a joy to work with, and more recently we've shared the pleasure of being fellow "somewhat retirees", and joked about the benefits of our part-time work. He will be sorely missed by us all. May God surround and comfort you. You're in my prayers. Ann Dillon

Barbara,

When I received the news all I could say is " Oh My God NO ! ..I've lost my best friend of 47 years."
What great times we had..full of fun and laugher.
I going to miss his quick wit and that smile.
God bless you and your family.
Please stay in touch.

Duane

Barbara,
How very kind you are, know wonder Bill loved you, I called to encourage you and you uplifted me! Bill was more than a co-worker, more than a friend, he was and will always be "one of a kind".
In Love and Friendship,
Rita

Barbara and Family,
Wow, this is so hard to believe. Billy was so full of life. It was almost 40 years ago when we met and became lifelong friends. We worked together for a number of years; we held many of the same jobs and shared many of the same friends; we served on the Credit Union Board together; we played together, traveled TDY together and mostly, laughed together; many, many times. While we all will certainly miss Bill, he surely left enough of himself in all of us to carry on his spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this tough time and I'm sure Billy is sitting on God's right, praying for all of us right now.

Barbara & Family,
What a surprise to hear the news that Bill was taken so suddenly, he must have been needed. As he walked through the halls at DeCA he was never without a smile or helpful hand, always willing to help each and everyone who needed him. He will be missed by many; more so by his family. May you find peace in the comfort of others, prayer and the memories you made along life's journey.

to the zeiner family,our thoughts and prayers are extended to you all at this time of your loss.we all knew and loved billy.he will be greatly missed byeveryone at the Claremont Sportsman Club.May GOD and HIS angels be with you all during these most troubling of times.

Brad & Family:

Nate & I were and still are in complete shock when we heard the news of your father's passing. At that moment, the world stood still, and words couldn't even begin to express our deepest sympathies. Although I didn't know Mr. Zeiner that long, I had the pleasure of meeting him at work. And I must say what a wonderful and kind hearted man he was. Please let us know if they're is anything the Bolden Family can do in this time of grief. Once again, our sincere and deepest sympathies. You'll forever be in our prayers.

Barbara and Family,

I was so very sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He and I worked together at DeCA on a few projects. I always looked forward to his special brand of humor to get us through some of the tough times. I am sure he is in a special place now, able to do all of the hunting and fishing he wants. Please take care; my prayers are with you.

Barbara,
Words cannot express your loss but know that Bll was loved and admired by his co-workers and friends at DeCA. I so enjoyed his humor and easy going nature, but mostly our common interest in sports, especially our favorite football team, the "Dallas Cowboys". Bill was indeed my Cowboys buddy and at least he got to relish Dallas' victory over the Redskins. I will miss our chats. Please accept my love and prayers for you and your family.

Barbara and Family,

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Bill was certainly very special to our family as well. A true professional, I particularly looked to him for guidance and support during my work career at Fort Lee; and, always Bill was there for me. When I think of Bill, I always picture that great smile he carried with him everywhere. Such a pleasure to have had him in my life. He loved his hobbies, and his family. Please take care and know we are thinking of each of you during this difficult time.

Barbara and family,

I've worked with and been friends with Bill for over 30 years and will miss him greatly. We had many great times together. I was very saddened to hear of his passing and I will share your sorrow.

Dave Walton

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all at this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear about Bill. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this trying time. May I also send condolences from all of your friends in the Class of 1971 of Hopewell High School. We hope to see you soon to be able to lift your spirits in person. God bless and confort.

Dear Barbara and family,
There are no words to ease the pain of your loss, but we are praying for your family to be embraced by God's loving presence so you may find the strength, comfort and peace necessary to continue your journey.
With our sympathy,
Ron and Crystal

Barbara - We were saddened to hear about Bill's death. I recall the time he was deathly ill and our Sunday School Class prayed diligently for his recovery. He was humble and appreciative for our concern, and attributed his recovery to strong prayer. We know the Lord will sustain you, the boys, and Krystal through this grief and saddness. Please accept our love. Zane & Eunice Blevins

Dear Barbara. I hardly know where to begin . . . you are certainly comforted by Billy's great love for you and his family. He was a wondeful, steady friend to Stephen and I, and we are grateful for those memories. St. Peter is surely having the time of his tenure!

Keep faithful to the values you have always shared, and we will see you soon. God's blessings to you at this difficult time.

Love,
Stephen and Joyce

May you all find comfort in a loving, caring God and feel His tender embrace. May this time of trial be tethered to the quiet assurance that the Lord walks beside each of you.

I lift up the Zeiner family in the name of God and Jesus Christ. May prayers prayed be heard and answered...this day...and all days.

Mrs. Zeiner, Family and special grand babies,
I am Bill's co-worker Zen and am truly sorry for your loss. You certainly have been blessed with a wonderful man of many years and wonderful moments to always cherish. I ask the Lords hands to hold yours and his arms to comfort you and yours especially during this time. I pray the Lord meets your every need to accomplish all that is set before you in Jesus Name. Please know you all are in my prayers.
Sincerely,

Zenaphir Bond

Barbara and family,

Bill was a dear friend. I treasure the time I shared with him during our careers at DeCA as well as post retirement outings.

Time spent at Shad Plankings, the river, and other gatherings will always be special. I am blessed to have known him. My prayers are with you.
