We will hold tight in our hearts the special memories of our campfire days...from bean bag competitions to harmonica play. A favorite memory of mine will always be how you mesmerized my girls with your harmonica play, so much that we had to have a harmonica of our own (which we still have). We will play a tune for you often, Uncle Bill. Our hearts ache. We will miss you forever. Love you lots.
