Bill is unforgettable! He once made major renovations to a house we were renting in order to accommodate our large and growing family. To say we were grateful is an understatement!
We knocked heads in many a conversation, but grudges were not held. I remember that a smile and a handshake always greeted me when we visited each other.
Pete and Tillie McCormick were always grateful to Bill for the kindness and generosity of time that he shared with them. In their retirement, Bill was mindful of needs that would arise in maintaining their home. When that time came, he was there to help, along with others in the family crew. And a good time was had by all!
He was an honest business owner with a strong Christian work ethic, who always provided well for his family.
Bill is now at rest-a well earned reward! God be with you Bill.

Dear Aunt Rosie and family,

Uncle Bill was a unique character for sure. I will remember many things about him, but one thing that stands out was his laugh. There was no doubt who was laughing if you heard laughing coming from the next room at a family party. And he laughed a lot in my younger days.

He had a way of engaging you in conversation. He was stubborn and opinionated but it was part of what made me love and appreciate him.

He gave me lots of advice as we started our business many years ago. And he always asked how things were going and listened intently when he would see me.

I have many fond memories of parties in "Catty" and going to the local pool. And listening to Uncle Bill tell stories at the kitchen table or out on the porch.

He was my Godfather. I appreciated him. He was a skilled worker who could do many things with his hands. I remember him being a stable, reliable provider for his family. He was loving. He could curse at you with a smile on his face and you couldn't help but take it as a compliment somehow.

He will be missed greatly! There is no repeating a character like Uncle Bill.
