Arkansas girl born and raised in. I just want to say.. you guys are such amazing people with the biggest hearts and kind spirits 🥰 there really are still good people in this world ❤ 🙏 thank you. I was ready to give up on the human race
I never thought watching a video of people that live a lifestyle that seems continents away from mine would make someone like me shed a tear. Despite our vast differences, my best wishes go out to this man.
I am from south Texas. I have spent time very near Bills place. This has been a wonderful story, thank you for doing it. Old Bill is a good man. So are you.
God bless you Arkansas Bill stay strong we can tell you are a real down to earth person , the world needs more people like you , Thank you for introducing us to this man and his wife Brandon
I use to live about 2 miles up the road from him when I was a child. I remember it like it was yesterday. He’s had all that stuff in his yard from as far back as I can remember. Crazy seeing this on here.
This is beautiful! I have an urn necklace I would love to send to Bill if at all possible. He could carry her close to him everyday! I know exactly what it feels like to have to go pick your loved one up in the form of ashes. I keep my mom as close as possible. God Bless you, Bill. Praying for you, brother! ❤
I'm from fort Myers fla..I am very sorry for your loss..hang in there..I'm going thru the same thing..now you have a guardian angel watching over you..God bless you Mr bill.
My heart goes out for you Bill I lost my husband from cancer in 2005 and I was married 34 years your never forget her she is with you in all your memories
Bill, I don't know if you read these comments or not. Bless your heart. Jo was an absolute treasure and her presence will be deeply missed. Wishing you the very best in the years to come, you're an honest and down to earth man who deserves it. Take care, a fellow Arkansan
Alone again. Naturally. -Gibert O'Sullivan. We are born in this world with all the attention from family, but when most of us die, we'll be lucky to have partner or family member their for us. Even if you are married it's a 50-50 chance that most likely you will die alone. Maybe if you have kids and grandkids those chances might be lowered but only a bit. Especially in western culture. People don't pay attention to Thier parents in western culture
Mr Bill, It’s so hard to lose the one you love. And it’s hard to go on alone, especially when your loved one is constantly on your mind. I think you’re right when you say animals are smarter than what people give them credit for. They know something is wrong and they are just like another member of the family. I have often felt the calming comfort of a dog or a cat. It is my hope that your friends and neighbors will rally around you in your time of need. I just wish you the best my friend and I’m so sorry for your loss. God be with you! Peace!
Definitely powerful. Thanks Brandon for being with Bill through this rough time and sharing with us. It has to still be a rough time without the love of his life. He's an incredibly strong man and very inspiring as well.
Been about 3 years I think since I’ve seen a video and he randomly popped in my head I figured I’d search for him and see how he’s doing sad that he lost his partner….I pray he makes it many more years I know it’s hard for one to keep pushing by them selves after so many years with the one they love god bless him
Thank you guys for being there for Bill if we all could have compassion for our fellow men and women , and be there when people are down and out, what a world it would be🙏❤️God bless all of you who care for others and may Jesus be with you and in your hearts always and help you heal✝️👍
Brandon, you did an incredible job with this whole story! ♥ grief is a lonely lonely thing. It is such a blessing to see you visiting and chatting with him. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Bill, I hope your doing OK, I too know all to well what its like to loose someone. In November of 2019 my daughter Kelley 27 years old was killed by a previous employer crasheing his boat into a bulked in Peconic Bay NY. My life changed forever, I liked what you said its time to cowboy up as hard as it was to do I was and lived to stay in the fight for my other daughter Megan who survived the crash with many sevear injuries. As the time passes you learn how to survive without them but as long as you think of them and when you can you say there name there spirt will be with you forever My GOD bless all your days left in this world untill your with your Norma Jo. Brandon may GOD bless you to for a wonderful job done here.
@peconicbayprime9182 so sorry for your loss and that tragedy that fell upon your family. You exhibit incredible strength and attitude in rising up to focus on your daughter who survived and keeping your late daughter's spirit alive. God bless you as well.
I'd grab him and take him to a holiday trip if I were around, but unfortunately I'm on the other side of the planet. Still, love to see content like this, thanks for making it.
I understand how he feels im 53 my wife of 23 years passed away 5 years ago she was only 42. I live in a small apartment in Beaufort County north Carolina Im trying to get me a little piece land so i can have a little homestead Im so sorry about his loved one God Bless 🙏
Bill I'm so sorry to here about Joe you don't know me but I had to privilege I'm reading Joe a little over a year ago while he was in the hospital and she was so full of life so hungry so loving caring I was just there for very short time and Arkansas but she was one of the many people and I was blessed to meet mom was there I was watching your video today and hurt her and it made me cry because she was she was awesome she was full of fire but you're right she cared about her and almost and she did care about you and love you too where she was so mad at you she was mad because you didn't go to the doctor sooner but I'm glad that you were okay and your healthy give you all my love I'm sending my love and stay there I met her through Billy Thompson so I just wanted to message you and give my sincere miss and you were blessed and yarn blessed and I am totally blessed to have known her
The little donkey looks hungry, my heart breaks for Bill and his beloved wife who passed. No one should have to live like this in the USA out of necessity. No one. Dont mean to sound all political but this is a real tragedy what our uniparty and govt are doing to the American people. It started with Reagan, then Bill Clinton (from Arkansas himself) then Bush all working to help deregulate the bankers and send American jobs, money and prosperity overseas with NAFTA and now Biden. Then they act all shocked when they have a tiny pushback on Jan 6. I hope things change for the better, soon. Blessings to Bill and his animals.
I hope bill is alright. I lived with my mom's until my mid 20s and she passed during the pandemic from cancer. It took a year for that really to hit me. My GF is here when that reality hits to calm me down But living with someone for 90% of your life, being stuck in a house with them during a pandemic, getting along during that time. Only to have them die after. Is a mind fuck in the worse way Poor Bill. I hope he got someone to comfort him when that reality hits. Even if it's just someone online.
MR. BILL ,,I KNOW ITS HARD FOR YOU ,,I LIVE IN KENTUCKY,, I OWN A FARM ID LET YOU LIVE ON FREE ,BUT YOU PROBABLY LOVE YOUR HOME,,, IM A GREAT GRANNY ,OWN A FARM AND A HOUSE HERE NEXT TO TOWN , WE ALL ARE SLIPPING AWAY ,,WE HAVE TO GRAB EVERY MOMENT WE CAN, MY GRAVE IS WAITING FOR ME ,,IM NOT AFRAID ,,,❤
Thank you, LB. Bill does love his home. In our very first video, he said, "I'll die here." That connection to the land is fundamental to who we are. Bless your kind words and strength there in Kentucky.
Where can i find more information about how this donated money will assist Bill? I would like to contribute if none of my contributions will be funneled off into the pockets of undeserving people.
Thank you for watching and caring. You can donate to the fundraiser attached on the video page: th-cam.com/video/t7n7USUbq10/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgzEV78Lb1O52hH_LgV4AaABAg All this money goes to Bill.
I last spoke to him a few weeks back. Seemed to be okay, although this time of year is hard on him due to Jo's passing anniversary (and birthday). Thanks for reaching out. I'll give him a call here.
The next time you come to Scott County Ar, contact me, and I will give you a tour of the back woods Of the Ouachitas mountains southeast of Bill house on my side by side in Scott county where I live. It would be worth your time if you're into mountains.
Just talked to him yesterday! He's ok. He misses Jo severely still. But he did get a new friend (dog). He takes it pretty easy. He's trying to get a deer this season, but no luck yet. I just sent him another check from his video ad revenues. It helps him out a lot. Thanks for asking!
@@ThePeriphery I hope someone does go and check on him periodically because i can imagine he could go from a broken heart and no one would notice, since by all accounts he never mentions any family or next of kin.
@@robbiem4624 Hi Robbie, I did talk to him last week. I sent him some elk meat he really appreciated. He also said his daughter may be moving closer to him, which I think would be terrific. Grandpa Bill should be closer to the grandkids:) Thank you for watching and caring. -Brandon
Please start a gofund me or something for our dear bill... he deserves a few bands on his bank account.... That loneliness can only get better with a friend, a rebuild of the house and some money for real.... Please fix it.... And no, i havnt watched the whole video at the time i wrote this lmao. Amazing video nonetheless
4:06 yes gaurd donkeys are a thing. Theyre smart, very territorial and protective a great alarm system other than dogs. They are used to gaurd livestock, sheep, and goats, they will kill coyotes and dogs by biting them picking them up and slinging them around, usually breaking the neck of the predator

These are real Americans, and the way people should be with each other instead of bashing each other.
I lost my wife of 22 yrs in February. I know the pain he's goin thru. I miss my wife every Day. God bless you Bill
This made me tear up, hope you're doing good Bill. Greetings from India!
She loved all the little puppies and their puppy breath 😅😅😅. I found that extremely funny.
Great video, excellent tribute.
It doesn't get any better than Real Authentic People...Rest in Peace...Norma Jo...Take Care Bill...❤❤
