Dear Lori and McQuirk Family,
Although it has been decades, it seems just like yesterday that your Dad was shaking his head at our motorcycle antics up the Rattlesnake; stopping to get us bison burgers on the way to the lake; catching us awake during sleepovers when he came home from work late at night; blazing (fearless) trail on the ski slopes; treating us to lunch at the Heidelhaus; getting me up on one water ski without dropping one; and laughing at our teenage craziness. You have all been in my thoughts and prayers. I hold Missoula memories from the 70's in a very special place in my heart. With love,

Bill, Really supported us doing his night club days. He was a fierce guy with a great work ethic. One time he wrote me a letter and called me Black Heart and from that day he always addressed me that way. I loved it and we both really respected Bill. With him there was never a dull moment. There are few like him in this world and now that he has passed there is one less iconic figure in Montana. Gods speed Bill.
