Uncle Bill You will be greatly missed. Your personality and joy was infectious. You grew up with my father Neil Saari who unfortunately passed a few years ago but I always knew you as family. Every time with you was memorable from the trip when I was little and you followed us out to Wyoming on your motorcycle and you got caught in the heavy rain storm and had to hop in the car to when I graduated high school and you where at my graduation party. You will always be in my thoughts.
