Just remembering my great uncle! Uncle Bill aka uncle chunklecheese and sending love to anyone else who stumbles across this page while remembering him. It´s July 15th 2025 and his memory is still being honored and kept alive. Love you uncle bill. Say hi to Pigaroo for me. I hope y´all have found Keeks and they are roaming the flower fields together happy and content. I hope you are at peace knowing how much you are loved and still thought of often.

I have known Bill for more than 15 years.
Coming from a foreign country, Kenya, Bill made me accepted and have a sense of belonging in the US.
Bill was extravagantly generous.
I will forever miss him.
I extend my prayers and thoughts to the family. RIP my friend Benjamin till we join you.

Eternal Friendship Remembrance Bouquet - VASE INCLUDED

David and I graduated from Austin High together. I must have known Bill when he was about 8 years old. When I last saw him, he was sitting at the bar at Frisco’s. Shaking hands with Bill was like greeting a first baseman’s glove. He was a huge man with the heart and humor to match. I am so glad he was born!

RIP William.
A childhood friend of David and Margaret.
