Bro Bill was a delightful man, a man who loved his God & his family well. I know Heaven is eating better today with him there!
Betty, you & Bill were always amoung my favorite people at Colleyville A/G. When we moved away, it was you all I missed the most.
Much love,

Uncle Bubbles? I can't say I've heard that one before. I've tried to take pictures though just by holding the camara up but they don't turn out like yours ALWAYS did.

Uncles Bubbles, you will remain in my heart forever. You were the best friend and brother, my dad could have ever had. Your compassion for others, generosity and kindness are to be commended. Your heart was so full of kindness. I loved you so much, your smile, your jokes, your whistling and singing will remain in my mind forever. My memories of bringing our two families together, camping in Oregon and visiting Clive, Iowa are highlights of my life. Heaven will be graced with your presence! Always, Kathie

Uncle Bubbles, as he was affectionately known, will never be forgotten for his warm smile, big hugs, beautiful whistle, and yummy noodles. Always a camera in hand. Every time I hear a Statler Brothers or Marty Robbins tune I think of him. Our family gets together annually for a hot bowl of Reames Noodle Soup. We will love you always. Hugs
