Dad,
We are so thankful for all the years we got to share with you as we traveled from one coast to the other and grateful that Justin got to grow up with his loving grandfather. We will cherish the wonderful memories and we will miss you more than you will ever know. Love you.

Uncle Bill was a caring soul with a flirtatious sense of humor that reminds me of Elsa, his mother. A good hearted man to whom family meant everything. I am proud to call him "my Uncle Bill," and will forever remember him fondly.

Uncle Bill always had a special place in my heart. I have wonderful memories of staying with him and Aunt Dot during a difficult time in my life. I haven't seen him very much as an adult but will always cherish the memories and the love both he and Aunt Dot shared with me.
My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Dot, Jack, Darlene and the entire family.

What a great Uncle! He tempered life's little lessons with humor, compassion, kindness and love. He reached out to me when life was less than perfect, and made a positive, permanent impact on my life!

As a brother, Bill was a helpful mentor. He taught me to drive and how to buy a used car. He and Dot provided a home for our mother. I'm grateful to God for Bill's life and influence. In the midst of grief, God's love reigns.
