Dear Bill,
Yesterday was real hard for me. It was the day I lost you and Dad. I know you are all together as a family without me. Instead of spending my day yesterday dwelling on how sad I was, I did something constructive. We had a relay for life cancer walk meeting. The walk is April 30th, so we are getting ready for that now, and that is something I do for you and our cousin Deb......Even though I can't walk the whole time I do my best. Some day there will be a cure for brain cancer and it will all be worth it. I say it everyday and I will say it today, It was not fair that God took you so young . It has been a very long year without my FAMILY. I love You so much.

Hi Bill,
I am sad today its been a year that you have been gone and we all miss you so much.
This day will always be a hard day as I often think of you and Uncle Tony and all the great times we had.
I wish you were here today sure would like to talk to you and laugh about seinfeld and another year of the Vikings blowing a chance at a Super Bowl.
You are in my thoughts and prayers and we will see you again some day.

Hi Bill,
Your niece was accepted at St. Leo college two days ago. She has put in 5 applications and the first acceptance call came in. She is so happy and excited. I did not have you or Mom or Dad to call and share the good news with... I did not know who to tell that would care as much as you would have. I know you would be so proud of her. She is smart like you, she got it from you and Mom. I wanted to let you know she is all grown up now and I am not ready to have her move out. The time went so fast

Hi Bro, I was just in Minnesota and visited with all of you. Went to Mom and Dads grave and yours. I missed you so much while I was home.. it will never be the same in Minnesota without you. I am surprised and sad at the amount of entries in your guest book on line, all the closest family has written though. I want to keep it online because for some sick reason it makes me feel like I can still talk to you , and I seem to still need that. Have a feeling I will always need that.......GOD I WANT MY BROTHER BACK

Not one day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. Not one ! This is my way of keeping you near and no matter how weird it is I must write you here. I called Anton Bill yesterday, oh he looks so much like you and has your heart, It just came out of my mouth as if I was talking to you. Here come the holidays, I almost dread them without all of you with me. The first holidays without you to call. Oh boy here come the tears....the silent tears no one knows I cry for you. Why did God take you? Why did he take my brother? Oh how much I MISS YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL
I sang happy birhtday to you before i got out of bed yesterday......did ya get that one? I know you needed to hear my beautiful voice again. You would be only 52, gone too soon. I love you so much and miss you more than I can say. I feel you with me and I get your signs. Many people miss you and love you. My life is very different without all of you with me...but especially without you. You were suppose to be here with me until the end, the end of both of our lifes. Now I go on without you and I feel so incomplete without a big brother to help me through life.
Rest in Peace Bill

Well Bill i am writing this on your birthday how ironic. I have waited to write anything as it is impossible to put in to words are relationship since we were born.You were like my brother growing up.We had so many memories of things we did from all our sports activities to girl talk.We had so much fun just playing in your back yard in the heat of summers and the snow of winters.The great times at the cabin.And of course playing our favorite game of all time Strato-Matic.
We had all the sports covered stats memorized and the play by play down pat.
As we grew up we did not keep in touch as much but we has alot of respect for eachother and always knew we loved eachother.
You became a great person and father with a great sense of humor.
The last time we saw eachother we laughed so hard about all the things we did and of course seinfield the greatest sitcom ever!
i will always have great thoughts about you and all we shared.No one will ever understand our relationship and what we shared but between me and you lets run one more play we called bill brown on three you know the play Bill you always scored a touchdown just like in your life you were a winner.
Rest in peace Bill and go deep i will see you in the end zone some day.
Love your cousin Don

It just is not getting easier for me. When will the pain go away? When will the tears end?? I think maybe never. I have heard that losing a spouse of many many years is the worst loss, But I happen to think that losing your only sibeling is one of the greatest losses a person can go through. I sure know that the pain is not even going away a tiny bit, if anything it is stronger by the week. You were my confidont , my friend my buddy MY Brother, and no one will ever be able to take your place Bill. No one!!!! I miss laughing with you and talking about everything under the sun with you. I think about you every single day, and some of days I cry, My family as I knew is all gone and I am left alone without all of you. It is a very empty feeling. I miss all of you so much I cnnot even put it into words. It is your little girls birthday tomorrow and I know you will be with her, watching over her. I Love you so much Bill, I would do anything to have you back.

You left us way too early, Bill. Growing up we did alot of things together. Blee Blee, La, Debi and Donald Art. It was the four of us - staying together at your house or our house. Going on many vacations together - at Kranz's and at our cabin, too. Lets not forget all those holidays together, too. As we grew up you would come over and see us and take Tina for ice cream. We had alot of fun playing tennis together, even though I was no good! You and I had alot in common, good and bad. Although we grew apart we were similar, both having college degrees and then both fighting cancer. When you came to see us last time it ws as if we had never been apart. You will always remain an inspiration to me. I miss you and love you.
Your Cuz,
Debi Doodle

Oh my Dear brother how I miss you and how I will always miss you !!!! So many things I have to talk to you about and want to call you. So many things to ask you and tell you. What am I going to do without you???? I did the relay for life cancer walk this past friday and Saturday in your name. I will think of you everytime I hear a song that you and me liked, and I will laugh everytime I do or say something that sounds just like you. We grew up together and knew eachother better than anyone else will ever know us. I wanted to call and tell you I went to the Fleetwood mac concert tonight and oh my God was it good. And I wanted to tell you that I went to the pro-am senior golf tounament Sunday and met and talked toCurtis Strange my favorite golfer (you know) You are not there for me to call anymore and it is just finally hittng me, how much I need you and life will never be the same since losing the only other person made from the same two people that I am . My life is different now that you have all left me alone. Remember I Love You Bill and always have and always will.
Hey Bill..... have a peice of pie with Dad ...and Have it with a glass of milllk,,ha ha family thing.
I know you are with me and helping me get through this by myself, I have felt you , I have heard you and I have seen your signs, thanks for not forgetting me and Thanks for being the best Brother a sister could ask for.

Bill I love you and I miss you so terribly. I hope you can read my thoughts now so you can still see that I am thinking of you every moment. Our life together was cut short, but we said we were 'soul mates' and I still believe that. I believe we came together for a reason, and I wouldn't change a thing, except to have been able to keep you healthy longer. I will love you forever honey.
Ps. Guess what? 'I love you'.
Yours forever,
Mary

Billy was my best friend growing up in Heights. We were together all the time, playing some sport in the backyard. While we were playing a game he would always do the play by play. Billy was so nice and forgiving, we were like brothers. I would quiz him on who the Twins played on certain days years before and he would tell me the team, score and the what the weather was that day. We grew apart when we went off to college, but even then I had to find him to help me through physics class and with his help I receive a B. Mister numbers. When we were little he was always there for me and he would build my self esteem daily. He made me believe I could anything on a sports field. I ended up playing football and basketball in college. Billy was instrumental in my success in sports, he made me believe I could do no wrong. Thanks for the best childhood a kid could dream of and thanks for being my best friend. Love Craig

Mary and Jenn,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll always remember your visits to Duluth and what a special loving guy Bill was. He was always so forgiving of my teasing. It's unfortunate to have him leave this world too soon, but he loved my friend Mary so well while he was here and for that I'll always be grateful.

We are sorrowed to hear about the loss of your beloved, Bill. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time, and have our deepest sympathy. Pat and I are unable to be at the service, but will be in touch next week. We are both just so sorry. What a brave fight, with a wonderful family to support him. Our Love, Peg (Johnson) and Pat Corr

it's hard for me to say a whole lot in these things...
but i thought it'd be good for me.
bill mochinski is my father.
and he will always be.
i love him to death.
he was always there for me. i have to say him and i had the best father-daughter relationship i could ever ask for.
we were very close. probably the closest person i was to.
i'll always miss him, and have that deep piercing pain inside of me, but i know he would want me to eventually move on and continue with my future.
like he always wanted, i will go to college dad (:
well this is all i'll say here because i have to save up stuff to say in other places.
rest in peace daddy.
i love you forever.
and like i told you before you left...there's no goodbyes. just see you later's.
with love,
Your Daughter. xoxox

I had the pleasure of meeting Bill at about the same time I met Mary. We would often meet for dinner and one occasion dragged Bill down to the bar to play pool (deep down I know he loved it:))
Bill was one of those guy's who was truly down to earth and honest; a very rare breed. I wish we could have spent more time together, you will be deeply missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Billy's passing but grateful I was able to connect with him this past summer. When I look back at my childhood Billy and his sister Laurie played a significant part. From the neighborhood backyard pickup games of baseball, kickball, football to his love of music (Herb Albert) to hanging out at their house. Keep strong with his memories at this difficult time.

Bill was a wonderful man who will be very missed by all who knew him. My husband, Mitch, and I met Bill as members of the Brain Tumor Support Group. I will never forget how he told us at one meeting that he was seeing someone special and that little smile he got when he talked about Mary. He was always so proud when he talked about his daughter and so we knew Bill was very close to his family. Bill passed away exactly one year, to the day, after my husband, and I know they are looking down on us and watching out for us every day. All my best to Mary and Jennifer and all of Bill's family and friends. Bill was a very loving and caring soul that was taken too early. He will always be remembered in our hearts.
Love,
Michelle Wiebe (and Nathan age 5 and Kiera, age 2)
