I will never forget the fun times I had has a teenager and young adult sharing fellowship and fun with Bill and his wife Sarah Ann. They both always had quality fun they shared with me and let me share with them and their boys. God bless Bill, Sarah Ann and their family. Memories live on for a life time at least.

I have many happy memories of family picnics, working at the antique shop, his wry sense of humor and endless generosity. I will remember him always with a smile. My love and condolences go out to all my cousins and their families. Sincerely, Trish
