I thought alot of Uncle Bill, when my Dad was sick, He was the one told me to go in and see him before he pass away. I was with child and the other family was worry about me and the baby. But he assured me everything would be alright. And I never forgot that. He was very good to me as a small girl when he would come and visit my family. He was a special Uncle to me, and I will always remember him. My deepest sympathy to Aunt Addie and his sisters.
