Uncle Bill was a joy to me and my family. He loved having my son Devon work with him on his computer. He visited our home in Denver several times and I truly enjoyed his company. My prayers are with his children and grandchildren during this difficult time. I will miss my uncle Bill, but look forward to seeing him again to worship our mighty King, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ throughout eternity. My love and care to all.
