To the Family of Bill F. - I have just learned of Bill’s passing. I was fortunate to meet Little Bill (a/k/a Cowboy Bill) in Williamsburg. He was always smiling, happy and a good influence and inspiration for me. Bill’s sudden death truly sorrows me. Valerie, Heather and Allison: you are all in my thoughts and prayers (as well as Bill).

I am not blood to Bill but he is my favorite Uncle and a very special part of my heart. He is such a gentle man and I will never forget the kindness and love he showed me and everyone around him.

I love you and keep an eye on all of us okay, because we are looking up to you. I know I am =)

To the rest of the family, I love each one of you. I am so blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing your Daddy, Husband, and friend. Thank you for being apart of my life.

Rest in Peace Uncle Bill.
