For twenty years you where our friend and neighbor. You always had a smile on your face and kindness in your heart.Your strength as a father and a provider to all of your family. You where a role model for me as a father and a man. You were a bright spot in sometimes dark world. I am thankful to God that our paths crossed in life.

Cherri Roberts Uncle Bill, I remember you picking me up at the train station to spend spring break with you and I always hoped snow would still be on the ground so we could go sledding. Fishing trips that you took with Jerry and the kids and you would return laughing because of what happened during the day. Going on drives to Captain jack's Stronghold. Camping at Collier Park, going to Crater Lake for picnics and when we came to watch the air show and watch the Blue Angels fly over. Washing dishes with you and you always told me to go sit down. Cleaning the storage shed to find the "missing" box. Going out to the garden and watching you play with my children and now their children. The holidays we spent together and the many weeks and months that you welcomed us into your home. Whenever anyone needed help you were always right there. Your family knew you were there for them in good times and bad. There is an emptiness that cannot be filled. Mother said it so well, we feel lonely without you. You can now go sit on the river banks with God and wait for the big one to bite. I am at peace knowing you are now healthy and enjoying every moment that you richly deserve.
