Dearest Aunt Jonni & Family,
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your soulmate, father and grandfather. Uncle Bill will always hold a "special" spot in our hearts. He was an honorable man. There was never a time when you would ask, "how are you doing", that he would say just fine and how are you doing". Always willing to listen, a caring human being. He showed concerned and pride when talking about his children and grandchildren. It lefted a twinkle in his eyes that I always admired him for. He will be truly missed. He was fondly blessed by a supportive wife and family. How fortunate for them all. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.
Love,
The Sansonese's (Jerry & Gloria & Family)
