Grandpa, I miss you dearly, Once i heard the tragic news I did not come out of my room for two whole days, only for food and bathroom. Soon i realized it's the circle of life I still do not forgive myself for dragging you out of bed. I love you grandpa.

Grandpa- I loved you to death, and still do. you were always there for me I remember almost everyday I went over there after swimming in the ICE COLD pool, I would push you into the computer room and make you "suffer" and play school. I always knew I was a bad teacher! but you are not truly gone,because you're memory lives in me, in US. and you will never be forgotten. you went to heaven to soon. Leaving behind you only tears and pain. may god rest in you're soul forever. Grandpa... if tears would build a stairway and memories a lane i'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. You always had a heart made of pure gold. You understood everyone and made everything better. if I could just reach my hand up and grab you and bring you back I totally would! From you I have learned so much. If people don't bilieve in heroes they haven't met you. Somebody once told me death is the easiest of all things after it and the hardest of all things before it. I still get a lot of hugs, but non of them as warm as yours were! I still don't forgive myself for dragging you out of bed in the starting of you're sickness and making you play.

We were so looking forward to meeting Bill either in Minneapolis or India. It will remain an everlasting regret that this can never happen now.

Yet, we know so much about Bill and cherish the times we spoke to him. A kind caring man who loved his family and showered Neha with affection. He helped so many people and in turn, was loved by all around him. Bill will always remain in our hearts and prayers.
