Deepest Sympathy to all of Uncle Bill's family. It has been many years since I have seen him, but he was my Dad's brother and I heard many stories about him growing up....I was named for his sister, and am Jim's twin.

Rest well, Uncle Bill. My dad, James William Hendrickson, enlisted in WW2 because he wanted to rescue you from POW camp. I remember Grandma Kittie telling stories about you as a boy. I hope you and my dad are already together in heaven sharing memories and eternal joy. God bless....
