You were just the Best! I will miss you more then anyone knows!For the past 30 years you and Annabel were the one's I always looked up to. You were the Father I never had, fishing, hunting, playing cards, golfing were just some of the things I will never forget doing with you and Annabel. Your wonderful girls were like my sisters I never had, and Annabel was like my second mother. You were the greatest, and will be missed! I love you Bill!
