Bill has been an influence on my life for 40 years, and the lessons passed along will not be forgotten. He taught not with words, by by example. Extreme love and dedication to family, respect and patience even when undeserved, Bill treated me as his own son, always making time to lend a hand, or give some much needed advice. His lifelong friendships are a testimony both to his strength of character, and sense of humor.
Thank you for everything,
Jeff

Bill is my father-in-law of 30+ years; he taught me a lot in those years. He is an amazing man who has lived life to the fullest and loved being with people. He is greatly missed by everyone who ever had the opportunity to know him or even just meet him. He was a talented craftsman (carpenter), but always put people first. He never passed up an opportunity to visit and talk.
We love you dad,

I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Growing up on 127 Street, he was like a third Dad to me. I have so many fond memories. He and Barb were so supportive of both my Mom and Dad throughout their illnesses and I am so appreciative of that as well. My sincere condolences and love to your family.

My Dad was the most humble and amazing human man that I have ever known.

I want to thank all of you who have signed this guest book, thanks Mike....

I was holding his hand when he left this life to eternal life and I saw his face change from pain to peace.

The Sinclair Family knows he spent Christmas with Jesus face to face and are so grateful that he is waiting for us to one day share the miracle and true meaning of Christmas with us all together again.

I love you dad.

Barb, Cindy and Family, so sad to hear about your loss. Grampa sure was a one of a kind. I have so many great memories of him and his sidekick Sam. He always had that hearty chuckle that always brought a smile to my face. Grampa gave me a job when I needed one and loaned me money when I had none. He was a wonderful, kind, loving man that will forever hold a special place in my memories and my heart. May the good memories bring you peace in your heart at this very sad time. God bless your family.
