Uncle Bill was a favorite uncle to me, JoAnn, and I will always remember him as a caring, loving man who loved his family with all his heart. When John got cancer in 2012 he came to the Mayo Hospital to visit and pray with
John. He kept in touch with us to check on John and to wish us the best. Such a wonderful uncle!S
