Bill will remain in my heart and mind as a loving, caring, and quite amusing person, son in law, husband, father and grand and great grand parent. He was occasionally cantankerous, and always courageous as he rode the wave crests of life. My prayers are for his loved ones who will surely miss him, to know that he and his beloved Marlene are reunited and bowing down in the presence of our Lord.
