Sending love to Bill´s whole family. Polly and I joined the funeral by live stream. Grateful to be there in spirit.
I will always remember his smile. And great memories as part of the youngest clan of cousins at the Reedy 4th of July picnic in Wilder Park.
Our deep condolences, Laura and Ray Stukel
