Its only been a year, but we do miss your presence at holidays. Easter, thanksgiving, Christmas or whenever we had a mess of fish to fry.
I remember your comment once, that our place reminded you of Parkersburg. It gave me a good feeling.
I recall Gabriella going to get you by the hand and saying "its time to eat Uncle Bill".

Yes, we do miss you down South! See you one of these days.

God gave you a great sense of humor, and a determined spirit. It was great when you lived in Florida and could join us at some family gatherings. I remember you commenting that our place reminded you of Parkesburg. Trees, pastures and a creek. That made me happy to think you felt at home here. God grant you eternal rest.
And have a wonderful home coming on the other side of the veil. Love you cousin! Irene

Bill was my neighbor for 3 years in Lancaster. He was a decent and honorable man and a good friend. My deepest condolences to his family.
