I will also remember Bill for his smile, and happy demeanor. He was a wonderful person and will truly be missed. I am glad he is with his brother and mother again, and is at peace. My love and thoughts go with you Lois and your family at this time.

I will remember Uncle Bill for the strong man he was! And that hat he wore on his hat everytime he would go for a walk when he came to St. Louis to see us. I will remember him always and miss him. I am just glad he is in heaven with Grandma, Grandpa and Dad!
