Words cannot express the grief that I'm feeling loosing Uncle Bill so suddenly. I've known him all of my life and over the past several years he & I would talk often...I enjoyed those conversations. Uncle Bill, would always make me laugh...and I found him easy to talk too. I'm going to miss my buddy. My prayers have been with you and will contine. It's hard saying good-bye to those we love however, we will see him again. God Bless Bill and may his soul rest in Peace.
