I always remember Uncle Bill as the "serious" uncle. Yet, deep inside I think he had all the makings of being very mischievous. I remember him looking an awful lot like daddy. We had a very nice visit the last time I saw him. I love you, Uncle Bill and will miss you.

I have very many fond memories of Bill living on Popular Street / living across the street from my Aunt Alice and Uncle George Heron. many times he and Nick were over there house for backyard parties, New Years Eve parties and many more. He was like family. He was a good friend to all that knew him and he will be missed. My prayers go out to the family - much love

Our family will always remember the drawer of bow ties and being taken up to his room to show us his Grumman collection and the pyramid he made for the children. He will be greatly missed and a void is left in our hearts for all of us.
