Mary Lou and family you are all in George and my prayers. Bill will always have a special place in my heart. He was such a good friend to my dad who in turn thought the world of him. Heaven has a very special angel.

One of my oldest memories from my childhood was Uncle Bill being at my 5th birthday party laughing it up and offering to help with paddling me once for each year of my life. He was also the first one to get me to eat tomatoes when Ray and I visited for a prolonged time when Robert was in the Hospitatl. I haven't been able to eat enough of them since. Thank you for those and many other memories Uncle Bill.

I have so many good memories of Uncle Bill. A better fishing buddy could not be had. Our summers at the lake were special watching "The Ski King" and my dad try to out do one another on water ski's.
Summer evenings at his house churning ice cream and eating Italian food are still with me today.
A better Uncle one could not ask for.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when he reaches heaven to see how he deals with his 3 sisters bossing him around again.
Uncle Bill you are loved and will be missed by many.
