My uncle Bill. I'm so sad you're gone. My uncle Bill was a great man with a huge joking sense if humor and one of the most brilliant minds I have ever come across. He was a man of few words but he was always there for me . I am happy I got to see him one last time in good spirits to let him know how important he is to me and how much I love him . My heart is aching now but knowing he is at peace is some comfort. I will forever miss you uncle Bill. Rest easy . I love you
