I was sorry to hear of my Great Uncle Bill's passing who was a wonderful man. I remember his visits to see my dad (his cousin Arnold) and he always had a smile and a great laugh. His nephew Jim (Arvard) Osborne, my dad's brother, passed on 6/18/25 and my dad passed on 11/24/16. I'm sure they're having a heck of time being together again. Miss and love you Uncle Bill.

It was sad to hear that my great uncle Bill has passed from this life. He was my grandfather Jake Andrew's little brother, and he was only 2 years older than my dad Arnold. He was more like a brother to Arnold and Jim than their uncle. I know they had some great times growing up together. I wish I had known about his passing at the time so I could have come to the memorial service to pay my respects and share memories with the family. I have many fond memories of him that I hold dear. My condolences to his immediate and close family. May God be with you all.

I HAVE MANY FAWN MEMORIES WITH UNCLE BILL, THE ONE THAT I ALWAYS LAUGHED ABOUT AND HE NEVER LET ME DOWN ABOUT WAS, WHEN MY BROTHER MIKE AND I WERE YOUNG WE WERE OUTSIDE PLAYING AND I RAN THROUGH THE BACK DOOR, RAN TO MY BROTHER'S ROOM, AND CHANGED JEANS. AS I WAS RUNNING OUTSIDE UNCLE BILL ASKED WHAT YOU ARE DOING DEE JONES, I SAID AWW FLITTER FLATTER I PEED MY PANTS AND WAS RUNNING FOR THE DOOR. UNCLE BILL SAID I HAD A PAIR OF MIKE JEANS ON BACKWARDS UN SNAPPED AND UNZIPPED WADDLING OUT THE BACK DOOR. HE WOULD GIVE ME A HARD TIME FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER AND WHEN I THINK OF IT I SMILE. AND ANOTHER TIME I WANTED A LEVI JEAN JACKET LIKE UNCLE BILL HAD, FOR CHRISTMAS HE GOT IT FOR ME.
UNCLE BILL WAS A GREAT MAN AND WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART. I LOVE YOU UNCLE BILL AND WILL MISS YOU.
