Karen, Will and Karl, so sorry for the loss of my favorite uncle. We have many good memories of Uncle Bill being at our house with my Dad... working on cars, old trucks or just having a good conversation. It was hard to see those guys getting older. We shared lots of laughs and good times around the dining room table. Those times will be missed but not lost to memory. God Bless and comfort you all, Your Cousin Connie
