WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
Author: David M. Romano
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me
I wish you wouldn't cry
The Way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We did not get to say
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
Each time that you think of me
I know you will miss me too
Visitation for Bill will be held Saturday, November 14, 2020 from 9:00 to 11:00 am at Lyndahl Funeral Home, 1350 Lombardi Avenue.

Uncle Bill is one-of-a-kind. I will never forget his cabin, the games of shashka, and his (always) relaxed demeanor. He loved his family very much and I am grateful I had a chance to be a part of it. I will remember and cherish the times we had. I know he will be missed by many of us! Love always.

I remember camping every summer at Franklin Lake. It was a annual tradition for the group of close-knit firefighters and family. Bill was famous for his Bonfires. I always remember my Dad (Roger) saying Bill couldn't just make a campfire, it always had to be a Bonfire. So many fond memories made at the campground!
