Uncle Bill one of a kind for sure. He was always kind, gentle and always funny. He would give the shirt off of his back if you needed something. I remember his jokes, if you were ever having a bad day he would tell a joke and make you laugh so hard. Then you would forget about everything else. He loved to eat corn on the cob and someone once said to him you can't eat that corn you don't have any teeth, well long and behold he cleaned that corn like he had a mouth full. Here he loved helping others when needed. Well you God evidently needed a funny angel because he called you home. We love you and will miss you. Fly high and go get those gold wings because you have earned them.
