I have so many happy memories of times with Bill! And I know it meant so much to his brother, Jim, to have the chance to take trips with Bill or work on Spies Bros. projects together. And Bill was such a help to me after Jim died. My kids love remembering him as "Uncle Bull"! Bill was such a great guy - his nieces, nephews, and cousins will miss him!! Our hearts are breaking with you, Connie, Corbin, and Bonnie.

Bill was one of my besties. His smile would light up the entire room and his laugh was unmatched! I am so grateful for the years we got together! Love you all so much!
