William Louis Abbott, Jr.

I am so sorry for the loss of this great man. In his role as our safety manager, he always showed such care and interest in the safety and comfort of individuals and the Beehive Clothing plants. We will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. MarJean McKay

We are sadden for his family's temporal loss, yet assured of an eventual heavenly reunion with loved ones and friends. Bill served as a counselor to me when I was bishop of the Tenth Ward--and his counsel was always valued. He was truly a humble servant of the Lord.

Mere words cannot express our shock and sorrow at the loss of a dear friend, father and neighbor - Bill was always cordial, friendly, helpful and had a smile. I will miss the joking between us about whether to go or not go to South High reunions. Please know that your in our prayers.

I will remember Bill's work ethics, his love and concern for all, and he was just happy all the time. He loved Julie and Lindsay tremendously. Bill also loved our Heavenly Father and our bother Jesus Christ. What an example he was to me and many others. Bill will be missed.

Words can't express how good a man Bill was. An incredible example and friend to all that knew him. We love you Julie and Lindsay. Our prayers are for your comfort and to somehow find peace in this time of trial.

I am deeply saddened about hearing of the loss of Bill. He had the biggest heart of anyone that I know. He loved everyone, and made sure they were taken care of. My most fondest childhood memories were those spent with my cousins playing around at the Capitol and Memory Grove. I will truly miss him. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bill's family at this trying time. I know we shall all rejoice when we meet again. For now you will live in all our hearts. Brad and Lori Goudie and family.

Beehive Philippines extend condolence to the bereaved family

We are saddened by the loss of this great and humble man. He was always helping someone. I worked with him as his secretary here in the Maintenance at HQF, he was always kind and full of fun. I so enjoyed working with him and will miss him calling to get safety training resources because he knew we had what he needed. He is loved and I know Father has a great work for him to do on the other side. My condolences to his family as I know they will miss him greatly. Please know of his greatness and that he will be with you always as long as you just think of him. May God bless you with His peace and blessings to you all.

I am sorry about Bill passing. He was always smiling and showing care in everybody. My prayers are with his family.

I am so sorry for your loss, I will always remember how grateful Bill was to be here at Beehive, when he talked about it he would get tears in his eyes, he loved being here and he loved the people here and he wasn't afraid to show that. I am deeply saddened by his loss and pray for the Lord's Spirit to be with you at this time.

I work for the Church Security Department and knew Bill for many years. I would like to offer me sincere condolences to you and your family. I have always and continue to hold Bill in the highest regard.

I worked with Bill many years ago in Scouting and know that this was a true love of his. We had many memorable camps and surprisingly survived to tell the tale. He always went above and beyond to make sure that ALL of the scouts and leaders felt welcome at any event that we had. Bill, myself and 2 other friends were known for a time as the 4-horsemen of scouting because of our love for it. In the 33 years that I have been a leader I have never come upon anyone with a heart as big as Bill's. Until we meet at the Scout Roundtable in heaven my dear friend. Know this, that Bill is doing great things for our Father at this point and I'm sure still has that wonderful smile of his. My heartfelt prayers go out to the family.

So sorry to hear of Bills passing we had so many great times in the Glendale area and working together at Keyston brothers. He was a great friend and fun person. Our prayers are with you.

We're so sorry to hear about your loss. Bill, Mike, and Linda were such great friends growing up in Glendale, on Mission Road. Only, happy and fun thoughts come to mind when remembering all the fun we use to have. Bill was a great friend and I remember him always smiling and being happy. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Abbott family.

Dear Julie, We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers, know that you are loved and stay close to the Gospel that is where you will truely feel the closeness of Bill in your family. We send our love.

I am so sadened for you your loss. I worked closely with Bill when working security at Beehive Clothing. He was so willing to do anything and everything to make my job and many employee's job's alot easier to deal with. I know from conversation he love his wife and daughter very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

I'm so sorry to hear about Bill! I was a gardener at Temple Square and knew him from the supply room at the church. Such a wonderful and kind man, with a good sense of humor- which was necessary working there! I'm so glad I got to know him, and my prayers will be with you. I know he will be very missed until you can be with him again.

Those of us on the maintenance crew at Beehive Clothing enjoyed working with Bill and having him join us in our safety meetings and joking around in the P.M. room. Because of his plumbing background he knew his stuff when we talked "shop." He was always pleasant to be around and added so much to our discussions and work environment. My condolences to the family. Rob Ellis

It has been a long time since I have seen Bill, but just thinking about him brings a smile to my face. Elder Cook recently said "Often those who die early have demonstrated significant capabilities, interests and talents." This teaching seems to fit Bill well. I know his talents blessed my life.May the power of the atonement give you comfort.

Good to see a tealnt at work. I can't match that.
