We are all sad that Uncle Bill is gone. He reminded me of my Grandfather Floyd. I always loved talking to him at the reunions, he was a very funny guy. He will be missed.

Thank you for being a constant presence in my life and for always encouraging me. I will never forget you always saying "you're my baby and you know I love you." I will miss your goofy disposition and Lynne constantly correcting you on "Jeopardy" questions after you would get them wrong and your retort was "that's what I said." You were always there when it counted the most and you are a great man among men and I will never forget your support of me and all of my endeavors. I am truly saddened that you are no longer on this earth. I will love and miss you forever. Your niece, Laura
