Not sure what to say?

Growing up I heard alot of stories of uncle bill from grandma, grandpa and my aunts and uncles, im glad to have met him. The biggest thing i remember about him was when we had a big verbis get together at grandpa Dons and everyone had their chairs pulled close to uncle bill and when he told old stories even the loudest of verbis's kept quiet and hung on his every word...R.I.P

Love you always Uncle Bill.

Sally, I have only fond memories of Bill. Bill and Don would spend hours outside just having a good time and when Bill went fishing, he would always bring Don some fish that he had caught. We enjoyed those fish and had many meal from the fish that Bill gave to Don. They shared many deer hunting stories too. So thank you, Bill, once again. The friendship that Bill and Don had only got better and better as the years went by. True friendship last forever. Love Theresa Kasputis
