My Uncle Bill was one the kindness man I ever knew.
Always a kind word came out of him and you tell how genuine it was. His memory was exceptional for his age. He never once did didn´t ask me about how my family was doing when I saw him. He had so much love and he gave so much of it to others. Uncle Bill will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
I´m glad you found your peace and I know you´ll be up in heaven with Aunt Irene.
My condolences to the entire family. Much love, Neice Cindy Middleton
