William R. Favro

My fondest memories of Uncle Bill are at his home on Lake Sammamish - feeding the ducks, swimming off the dock, and big family gatherings to eat crawfish fresh out of the lake and cooked in a large pot on the lawn. It was always fun when Aunt Eva's Greek relatives were there too. He will be dearly missed.

We knew "Uncle Bill" before we met his niece Mary Lou 35 years ago. The last time I saw him was when he arrived at Papa Favro's home for pot roast dinner several years ago. Always enjoyed seeing his beautiful wife Eva. My husband's mother, Helen Crites knew him as she worked for Peoples Bank for 40 years. Always heard about Uncle Bill and Aunt Eva from Mary Lou. Bless you all.

Uncle Bill was always so kind and generous. I too remember fishing out on his dock out on Lake Samammish catching Perch and Bass for the first times. The way he would fillet the perch and cook it up is still my favorite kind of fish to eat. He was so sweet to Aunt Eva and loved her dearly. A true role model in every sense of the meaning. He will be missed and loved for ever.

Some of my favorite childhood memories took place on Uncle Bill and Aunt Eva's dock. He was always so kind and so patient with us eager kids. He taught me how to bait a hook, and when i didn't want to do it, he went ahead and did it for me with a smile on his face. Everyone who knew him has fond memories i'm sure. He'll be sorely missed by all. Love you lots.

Uncle Bill always had a smile on his face regardless of the situation, time of day, etc. He was a kind and gentle person, love by all. He taught me how to fish and when we did we laughed a lot. I remember when he married Aunt Eva....it is hard to believe how fast 41 years go by.
