Love and prayers to everyone. We are left with many fond memories of Bill. Bill elevated many of us in many ways. I learned a lot from bill when I was in my teenage years and will forever be grateful for that.

Good fishing and fellowship out in the Sound, is my memory of Bill. His interest on how to improve anything, anywhere, was always inspiring to me. For sure we will see him on the other side where he is enjoying rest from his labor.

Bill was my brother from another mother. He was always friendly with a ready smile. Always a pleasure to be with someone like that. Bill also took care of his family, respected his wife Diane and raised a wonderful daughter, Jennifer.

Bill, you are on my short list of people to see when I get to Heaven. God Bless You, my friend.

Uncle Bill, you will always have a piece of my heart. I remember all the fun times we had when I was growing up. You always had a kind demeanor. You served as a great example in my life. I looked up to you and the way you were with people. I will cherish the times we had and I'm so glad you got to spend time with Isla. I will miss your loving, smiling face and your hugs! I believe you are in a wonderful place now and I know I can ask you for guidance when I need it. I love you!

I wish that we didn't have to say goodbye to such a good father and husband! Kind,patient, and could fix just about anything! Not everyone can build their own computer and fix a jet boat all in one day but Dad was able to do that! My prayers and thoughts are always with you Mom, Jen, and Joe.

Bill was a good friend since the '50 s. We lost touch about 30 years ago, but I thought of him often. So sorry to hear of his passing. He will be missed !
