My deepest condolences to the Creps family. I was browsing on my dear wife´s Facebook when, "out of the blue", I thought of Billy Creps (as I knew him). He was my best friend from 4th grade through 6th grade. I move to Wahiawa and lost touch. He was such a wonderful friend. Blessings to you you all!

It's hard to believe that Bill has passed away at such a young age. We were mission field companions briefly in 1977 for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Arizona and I always admired his hard work and dedication to the task at hand back then. He was a good soul and I appreciated knowing him. I wish Janey and the family well at his passing. May his memory live on.

Oh my. I´m so sad to read this. Elder Creps taught me the gospel in Phoenix, Arizona in 1975 all the way through to my baptism. In January 1976. I´ve always had a special place in my heart for him.

Bill's beautiful presence and soulful demeanor have impacted me, even though I never really knew him. I am so grateful that I got to meet him at Lucy's memorial. I can only imagine the many blessings his life and presence were to his family and friends. May all the hearts that loved Bill carry those blessings forward in his memory and may his legacy of goodness continue to uplift and inspire all hearts.
