My thoughts and prayers go out to Mary Jo and family. I will miss my Uncle Bill. He was always full of laughter and enjoyed life. I will always have fond memories of him.

I have a lot of fond memories of Uncle Bill while growing up. With being the oldest grandchild of his parents, I had the privilege of knowing all my uncles. I grew up with them babysitting me and being part of my young life. With Uncle Bill living in Auburndale, I got to be around him more and enjoyed a lot of laughter. He always had time to meet up with me and my girlfriends at the Clock for breakfast. He is now with his brothers talking about who has done what since the last time they were together, hopefully no one in trouble. I know that will make Ann laugh. We will miss you and always treasure our memories. My deepest sympathy to Mary Jo and all my cousins.
