Uncle Bill was always so easy going and always had a smile no matter what he was doing. We were blessed to live in Abilene near Aunt Joyce and Uncle Bill twice in our many moves and they always loved us and treated us like their own. Well I am a niece but they always had time for us and we played many hands of dominoes I personally never won and doubt Mike ever did either! Love you Aunt Joyce and our prayers are with you - Dana, Dennis and Phil, Linda and Wayne, Tanya and of course Larry and all the grandchildrens and friends and family.
Love you all very much. Love In Christ - Darla and Mike Ewing
