My greatest memories of Bill was his ability to make me laugh and his kindness. The way he was a father to his siblings children when they so needed that influence of love and guidance....helping others when they needed it .... you are missed and loved by many Bill .... and now back in the arms of your Mother RIP ❤

My dear cuz, While wandering through my memories of you from childhood summers, up until present day, when we all communicate with electonic means, it seems to me that your sense of humor was something me and many others have always enjoyed about you. I'm praying you're listening to some good music, while you embrace the loved ones previously lost to all of us xo

Over the years we did some pretty crazy things. I think a time or 2 you even would partake in the eating of my traditional bread and syrup with Mary ,and once in awhile your Mom . You always had a great joke ,and never gave away a chance to sing along with country music .
