William Charles Nitz Jr.

I met Bill through his son, Dale, about 2 1/2 years ago. I really wish I could have known him longer. He was a really sweet man with a fantastic sense of humor. At family gatherings, I would see him in his chair, just watching the goings-on with a cute little smile on his face. He was really into his family, no matter what. I was extremely impressed at the way the family came together during the past week and how everyone contributed something to the funeral. That right there is a legacy...

My Dad was my HERO!!
We worked together,hunted and fished together and spoke openly about many topics. We shared the good, and the bad in our lives.

My Grandpa was a very special man. He was always gentle and easy going. I have always lived far away, but he was ALWAYS there if and when I needed him. He and Grandma would spend some Christmas' with us as I grew up, and later on he and Jayme came to visit us in Kentucky. I have a small book of photos of our last visit to Tacoma in 2000 with Grandpa and Jayme. Jayme made it and sent it to us. It is even more special to me now than ever. I am so grateful to her for doing that. I am glad...

Carrie and Family,
It's never easy losing someone you love, but consider yourself fortunate to have had your grandfather in your life for such a long time. Getting to see you grow into the wonderful person and mother you are must had made him very proud. Be thankful for all the memories.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
I'll be in touch.

Bill had been a special friend for almost 20 years. He and Jayme had a wonderful life together sharing their love of travel and music. I shall miss him.
