Thinking of your family at this time. Uncle Bill was always so happy. I remember the picnics along the creek and Uncle Bill hunting with mom and dad. Condolences.

Think of your family in your time of sorrow. Uncle Bill was such a wonderful person. He always had a smile for everyone. I remember him going hunting with Mom and Dad. When we were young we used to spend a lot of time with each others families. Over the years we just lost touch, but the memories will always remain. He will be missed.

My sincere condolences to the family. Bill was a fine gentleman and knew no strangers. He was a good friend and I remember the fun we had bowling and the chats we had when he drove his cart through our development . Rest In Peace dear friend, until we meet again.

My deepest sympathy to your family on Bill's passing. My dad & I used to deliver meals on wheels to Bill. And we also saw him many times at Elmcroft. My dad was also a Phillies fan & used to talk to Bill about them. He was such a good guy. I'm sure he'll be greatly missed.
