Bill, Linda and Amanda have always been a part of our family. I spent as much time at their home as my own growing up. Sleep overs were so common that we never asked if it was OK. Bill was more than a friend of our family, he was our family. You were a good man and we will miss you, Bill, until we meet again some day.

Bill wasn't my brother in law he was the brother I never had. He loved my sister, always made sure she was taken care of. They lived a life of happiness. My parents loved him very much. Bill will live on in my heart with the memories I have.
