It was fun trying to match wits with Bill even though I was always on the losing end. I will miss him and his sense of humor very much.

I never really knew Bill myself; but my late husband knew Bill well for many years. However, I am grateful for all the years Bill has taken my brother under his wing and helped him become a responsible citizen and a credit to the community.

Growing up Uncle Bill was always one of my favorite uncles. He always had a zest for life and a good heart. He helped my ex-husband and I through a difficult time in our lives and I will always be grateful to him. May you rest in peace, Uncle Bill. Love, Denise

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Galamb family. I was born and raised in Universal, and in fact lived in the Galamb house when I was first born. My Mom (Jean Oberch) and Helen Ehnot were friends for many, many years. Billy, as well as the entire Galamb family, will be in my prayers.
