Bill was a great guy, and I was blessed to be among his many friends. We will miss him terribly, but we know he is at peace.

Uncle Bill was so good to me. I remember when he lived with us. He took me to cubs games which I loved to do. He was always very nice to all of us and I will miss him very, very much. I love you uncle Bill

In my living room I have two small pictures of Mom and Uncles sitting on piano benches, clutching their stuffed dogs. I love the look of mischief and amusement in Uncles eyes. Thats how I will remember him, smiling and full of life.
