Uncle Bill was the greatest uncle a boy could ask for. He was always there teaching you things. From teaching all the hunting & fishing things to showing me how to cut grass & shoot the BB gun he bought me @ 10yrs old. I'm sorry I wasn't there at the end of your life, but you will never be forgotten. I will talk of you for the rest of my life & share our memories. I love you Uncle Bill more than I can say! Aunt Carol if you need anything please just ask.

Uncle bill was not only my best friend , my uncle, he was my father. Even tho biologically he was not my father he raised me along with carol and my mom Tonya like I was his own daughter. I will forever be grateful for what he has done for me. Even in hard times as a teenager being a wild child uncle bill helped keep me on the right path! He always believed in me and knew I could do anything I put my mind too. He was always so kind and warm hearted in his own way. I´ll never forget times when I was a kid following him around till the day he passed holding his hand through hard times. You are now at peace and you are all of our guardian angel may you rest in peace and watch over us! I love you uncle bill

Uncle bill wasn´t my best friend, even tho I couldn´t see him TOO much growing up, when we slept at his house aunt carol would give us popcorn and we would watch movies while bill would wonder around or sit in his chair happy we were even in his presence. I love my uncle bill, and I miss him, he was my best friend, my family, and my uncle, and those walks at our great grandpa´s in the woods were one of the BEST memories.

I met Bill in the summer of 1978 working a summer job on a housing project ground work. We had lunch together every day we were on the same job together. We grew up in the same country neighborhood and had a lot in common. We bonded immediately. I went in the US Navy that winter for 6 years and every time I was back in town I´d go see Bill and Carol . My civilian job was pretty time consuming and we didn´t see each other much but a wave and a horn blow going past my house in his equipment truck and trailer working long hours. We hooked back up after my retirement and we got to know each other pretty well and had much fun together. I can say that Bill was genuine . A gentleman , straight shooter, knowledgeable, and a true friend. Gonna miss you man terribly! God speed brother !

Uncle Bill was a fun-loving and kind man. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of spending summers at their home, enjoying his warmth and laughter. We will all miss you, Uncle Bill.

Uncle Bill was the best uncle a girl could ask for! He taught me how to replace a kitchen faucet, taught me how to fix a broken light switch and how to take a hook out a fishes mouth. He will be missed more then words can explain. Aunt Carol just remember we are here for you and love you dearly. May Uncle Bill's spirit fly free with all the birds he watched over the years.
