Billy G. Ottinger

I can still remember when us kids (Billy, Bobby, Michael and myself) were little, watching my dad and my Uncle Bill fish. Them so proudly sitting in the lawn chairs, fishing pole in one hand beer in the other. Funny though, I can not remember if they ever caught any fish. I think they did it just to keep us quiet for awhile, because we might have scared off the fish? I remember that my Aunt Shirley was my best friend. I know that she is now going through one of the roughest times, if not...

Bill....a man that a memory can never erase...a soul that the angels are sure to embrace...
Bill....a man who held no worries if you judged by his face..in his heart i saw no fear..not even a trace....but......his mind held secrets.....i believe that was the case....you lived your life as many should....with love of all who were known as your friends...Bill, I am honored to have had the opportunity to to have been called your friend.I will miss your words of wisdom the way you made me feel...

We will all miss Bill so quick with his smile, a joke and that twinkle in his eyes.
My thoughts are with you all at this holiday time Shirley and the Ottinger family.
May your hearts be filled with all the good memories. God Bless.

I Do Believe

There is nothing I can do,
to make him come back
There are no words I can say,
that can replace the words you long to hear

There are no answer's I can give,
that will satisfy your questions
There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace his
And, there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared

I can not promise your broken heart will ever be complete
I will not say it could have been...

Bill, I wish we could have seen each other more. I will always miss my big brother. I Love you. Your sister, Patty

I remember the day Billy, Indian Dave and Hutch walked into John Christ Winery 4 years ago. They were so funny. We had just gotten our Sunday liquor license and I was working alone and these 3 characters strolled in their Harley gear on those loud bikes! In the mystery that is life we all somehow became the best of friends. Billy was one of the most unforgettable characters I have ever met. That birthday party 3 years ago for him and Indian Dave and Carl at the winery was one of the best...

Bill you will be missed. I met you long ago at Beaver Park and enjoyed boating and in the past few years riding motorcycles together when we did get the chance. Hopefully you're up there riding on the clouds looking down on us.

Bill I loved you with all my heart and miss you so much.You will always be with me! Love Mom
