A true gentleman and a kind, friendly uncle. We will miss Uncle Bill, and Aunt Betty is in our thoughts and prayers. May she be surrounded by family and friends in these difficult days, and be reminded of God's love, comfort, protection and provision.

I will miss my very dear friend, Bill. His smile, twinkling eyes, and hugs helped me so much after Bob passed away. My prayers for comfort are with Betty.
