Always had fond memories of Uncle Bills and Auntie Ruth. He was always full of life and was inquisitive of all that I or anyone was doing when he and Ruth came to visit Mary and Bruce (Mom and Dad) from when I was little to the last time I always loved the bantering and talking politics and what not. It was never boring and never quiet. :-)
