William Arthur "Bill" Dove Jr.

My condolences to the whole family. Lived across the road and a short walk from them for most of my childhood. Loved the ice cream parties and Halloween events! I fondly remember the wonderful backyard animals rabbits, horses (Prince and Bosco), the bullfrog in the bathtub out back. Played Grey Ghost around the house at night, sleep overs in the barn with Bill Jr. Going fishing with both Bills at Pinto Lake. A great man. Great times!

I have early fond memories of camping with Bill and family in the central sierras at Gaggs camp. I rode up with them a few times in his old car modified so us kids could crawl around in the back seat/trunk. He and my dad really enjoyed swapping hunting stories. My love for the outdoors and wildlife started back then and never left. He was a very kind man who always had a smile to share. The full rich life he lived shows how much he was loved and will be missed.
