I always looked forward and enjoyed talking with Uncle Bill. I have a lot of good memories of Uncle Bill. He had some of the best stories and a had great sense of humor. I look forward to seeing him again one day.

So sorry to hear about your loss. It has been a while since I thought about Bill as he and his family were part of my younger childhood. I do remember he taught me how to ride a bike without training wheels in one day spent at his house playing with Buffy. That is my one long term memory of him and how he touched my young life forever. He will be missed by us all. God bless and keep you in your time of sorrow.

Gene and I enjoyed being with Bill and I would see him often in Capt. Ds getting something to eat there, or to go. He was a sweet dear man and he is going to be truly missed by both of us. I'm so sorry that we didn't know about his passing until now. But please know that you and the family will be in our constant prayers as you grieve his passing. The world has lost a true gentleman.
