Uncle Bill, I do remember your quick and funny jokes. I didn't know until two weeks ago of your leaving this life to your eternal home. You will be greatly missed but remembered dearly by all, but no more than your precious wife that you leave behind, Donna. Love and comfort to those you left behind.

I have some very fond and fun memories of visits with Uncle Bill. His sister Sylvia is my Grandma and visits with Uncle bill were always wild and fun. Whenever he was around there was always a lot of laughter and he seemed bigger than life. He certainly lived life to the fullest. Many thanks to my Aunt Debbie for making sure Grandma could be there to say goodbye. All my best love to my mom, Karen and dad, Ron and to all my aunts, uncles, and cousins that I wish I could be there in person to extend my love and hugs.I want to extend my sumpathies to all his closest family and friends. Uncle Bill you will truly be missed and I hope you have found peace.
Love, Suzy

I was shocked to hear about Bill's passing. I will remember him for his kindness, generosity and especially his great sense of humor. Heaven has a new angel now. My deepest condolences to the family.

Never a harsh word, always a laugh and a smile.

When you talked to Bill you knew you had made a freind, one that would last and always be there for you.

When storm clouds gather, I"ll always think of Bill and wait to see that ray of sunshine pierce the veil of darkness and bring the light again.

He will be missed.
