I will miss my Uncle Billy dearly. Not only was he my Godfather, but he truly acted as a second father to me in alot of ways. He was a giving, caring, selfless person with the best attitude of anyone I know. I will miss his silly sense of humor, his insightful ways, and the warm smile he always had on his face. I will miss getting beers for him and fixing his remote control. I will miss my Billy Bunkin very much but know he is in a much better place and I look forward to seeing him again one day.

I am truly sorry for the loss of Bill. I first met Bill almost five years ago. He was a resident in a long term care facility that I provide products and services to. He was always genuinely interested in me and what was going on in my life. On many occasions he was a source of encouragement. I never heard Bill complain about anything. He was truly appreciative of life and of those close to him. He had an opinion about most every issue we discussed and his wisdom was always enlightening to me. His soft spoken way and warm smile will be missed by all who knew him. I am grateful to have known him.
