Bill and Bernadette have both brought a lot of laughter to my life and for me that is paramount.......
There was something special about Bill for me.... He had all the qualities that impress me in a man.....10 hrs. of work in 8.....the ingenuity to FIX just about everything.....love of his country and the ability to have a good time doing all of it!
Bill's disease took him from this earth way too soon but rather than give in, he chose to have "power over it" and NOT allow it to take him over. You will be missed....
