William "Bill" LaFromboise

Our family meet Bill in 1969, he helped us as kids to work with our horses and taught about herding cattle and branding. He had a great sense of humor and was always ready to lend a hand. I am sorry to hear he has passed but know he is happy.

I was acquainted with your dad through Jim McLucis of the morning coffee clutch during the 1990s. Those two left a natural legacy we who know are all grateful for!

So sorry to see about Bill. My sympathy goes out to all of you. God bless.

I first met Bill when I started working at the skilled nursing facility he was a resident of. I honestly didn't know what to make of him at first. He definitely had a personality all his own. As much as I didn't know what to make of him at first, I quickly figured out that he was a pretty easy going and nice man, if he liked you, and, apparently, I was one of the people he did like there. The feeling was mutual. I got used to seeing him in "his spot" near the dining room of the wing he was....

Dad, Father... You were always in my heart from day one... I never had the honor to meet you, but your blood has always ran thru my veins with strength, kindness, and compassion as did your Mothers. I grew up in Minn near Millacs Lakes Chippewas Res, it always had a pull on me. Horses, and animals all seemed to find me which I contributed to You. So many feelings, thoughts. I hope your happy now, hunting, fishing, riding broncs, and bulls (ur crazy) across the sky with our ancestors! ...

Old man bill I know my family will miss you stories. I'm sad your gone but I know now your not in pain.

R.I.P. Willy, I hope you get all the Mountain Dew you want where the eagles fly. Thanks for the many years of laughs and friendship.
