Some of my fondest memories of Uncle Billy is of him handing me the Santa Suit to put on for the annual Hand Christmas parties. So many of those little babies that sat on my lap now have babies (and teenagers and college kids!) of their own. He always had a mischievous grin on his face. And behind that grin was a man of deep caring and love. He was a wonderful, extraordinary man. I will miss him very much. Warm hugs and thoughts for all of you.
