Heart felt Condolences to Aunt Eunice, Kathleen, Bill & Dave. People live on by those they touched while they were alive and Uncle Bill was the best he had the kindest soul like that of his father. I have countless amazing memories from my youth where Uncle Bill would entertain us with his great sense of humor even doing improve with Dave´s hamster Frances to the point we would be in stitches , his inclusion of us in memorable down town Fourth of July celebrations , family trip to Acadia and a shared love of sports and history will live with me forever. I only can hope that I myself will be remembered by my children , nephews & nieces with as much love and fondness as I hold for my Uncle Bill. I am happy you are free of that horrible disease and draw comfort that you will be welcomed home by our family. Knowing the Hannon sense of humor I can already hear my Dads voice probably while he´s still hugging you say " So Bill I hear your in a band " Thank you Uncle Bill till we meet again.
