My mind was saying Uncle Bunk, but apparently my fingers typed Buck.
I’m sure Uncle Bunk would laugh it off, and not hold it against me. ❤

There are no words that could ever describe how amazing Bill was. The first day we moved back to Fresno he was at my door with a smile . Mr. Bill was always so kind and had a funny story to tell every time I saw him from the elephant ears in Hawaii, to the day he proposed to the best wife ever ,to the motorcycle he rode when he was younger. Bill joined us for several get togethers here at the house and he was so happy when I brought him a mask with the Navy symbol on it. I used to drive him crazy I think with how much Id call or walk over when he was outside to check on him. I remember one time he walked over and held out his hand, said hey I found this in the road I think its yours. It was a hand full of onions from his amazing garden. I hated that with this covid mess I couldn't be over there more like I was when we first moved in. I can hear his laugh now as I write this cause I know him and Dottie"the best wife ever" are having a wonderful reunion. Bill was and will forever be one of the greatest men I ever had the pleasure of knowing. I only wish that everyone lived life the way Bill did. Sending lots of love to the family

Uncle Buck was one of my favorites. He was so pleasant and always quick to smile! He will truly be missed!
Rest In Peace, Uncle Buck.

Everything i remember about Uncle William (he was my fathers uncle) was about how big he was! He seemed a giant to me and whenever we went to visit him and Aunt Dot it was a huge event. And you could hear him a mile away! Alot of family, kids around, always having fun, him, Steve, Paul and Ray making my Mom laugh. Even the last time we were all together at Aunt Dot's service. I'll miss him.
