WILLIAM COLE passed away in San Diego, California. The obituary was featured in San Diego Union-Tribune on February 20, 2011.
Uncle Bill was one cool dude. We used to play blow darts, very competitive game. I remember him laughing and he was always in a good mood. He and Aunt Uvie was my wife's family but they took me right in. I have great memories of him. We all miss you terribly.

My brother and I were many years apart in age, but I do have my happy memories of him. He took me on my first motorcycle ride, I think before I entered kindergarten--I remember hanging on to the gas cap for dear life. I remember him driving me round and round to the top of Mt. Helix in his white VW bug (no, not the scary-loud red one). He used to build "forts" out of pillows, using his drumsticks for the support structure, for me to crawl around in when we visited his house. And I won't...

Katy and Billy ready for Vacation Bible School. 1952
My sweet little nephew "Billy". The memories of growing up with you will always be special to me as I was only six when you were born. I remember playing cars, marbles, reading the little golden books with you. Here is a picture of us ready to go to Vacation Bible School. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get you to call me "Aunt Katy". I always looked forward to seeing you when you made deliveries to The Charter School where I worked. I was so proud of you. I have a hard time thinking...

I am so sad to hear of Bill's passing. He was one funny guy. I will always remember those years our young families spent together. Lots of music,laughter, and munchies...

I'm so sad...I met Bill in the 7th. grade,(1959) and from that time until the present, he has been a special person in my life. I last saw dear Bill in 2002 at his house on 54th st. I have fond memories of hanging out in the garage, and swimming in the backyard pool with Tiva,Uvie and Lacey!
My heart felt sympathy goes out to Uvie and Tiva.

Bill was my uncle and I will miss him greatly. I always enjoyed seeing him at family events and having someone to have a beer with. I will never forget many years ago when he brought over one of his guitars and we played in my Grandmothers garage on a holiday. I wish there could have been more times to jam, talk cars, and dislike the cowboys. See you on the flip side Uncle Bill, miss you lots.
Love you always Scott

This is a very sad day. Bill was my best friend in school. We had a great friendship. After over about 35 years I had a visit with Bill, my last. I learned of his passing after the service, I am very sad I could not attend. My best to all the family, Bill was a very special person in my life. Conrad Davis Crawford '65
