Not sure what to say?

Nothing but fond memories of somewhat shy, Bill Gheen, while touring with his family on the Cristiani Bros. Circus. Handsome young Bill left an impression of being hungry for life, & driven to succeed on his terms -while clinging to a pocketful of dreams. Bill was an exceptional human being & will be remembered as one the most decent men I have ever known! My condolences his beautiful wife & family.. Victoria Cristiani Rossi

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Lieber Onkel Bill, mit 14 Jahren besuchte ich euch für einige Zeit. Ihr nahmt mich auf wie eure vierte Tochter. Die intensiven Erinnerungen begleiten mich seither, ich bin sehr dankbar für deine großzügige Art und warmherziges Interesse. Finde Frieden nach einem langen, erfüllten Leben. Deine Karin

I remember my Opa as a charming, smart, and funny person. We shared many passions, including but not limited to model trains, wood building blocks, and model tanks. One of the pieces of advice he gave me was to listen to the pieces of advice that my father and other people in my family gave me. I tried to spend time with him and learn about his life as much as I could. Although I feel like I could have done more, I'm thankful that his passing was peaceful and that he lived a long and happy life.

Lieber Bill, danke für die schöne Zeit die wir miteinander hatten. Leb wohl,wir werden dich nie vergessen. Love Willu und Harald.
