Freddy, Bunnie, Chris, Greg, Jeff, Scott & their families:
I never felt so much love in one day as yesterday when Billy received the celebration he wanted and always talked about.

"Uncle Bill" must have been dancing with joy watching his loved ones, as I am sure
everyone felt his presence inbetween the tears and the laughter. How wonderful it must be to actually have him in your family all these years, and I know he will never be gone as far as you are concerned. There will never be another one like him in my lifetime, so I consider myself very lucky to have been one of his friends!!! His Memorial will be "Unforgetable" just like he is.
