The most recent memory of Uncle Bill was our trip to Chicago a few years ago, when Uncle Bill told Ginger (the dog) to "go get the squirrels"...and Ginger going crazy with Uncle Bill's teasing! Now you can laugh with my Dad, Uncle Dick and the others! We love you!

We will all miss you very much Uncle Bill. But we take comfort in knowing you are now in heaven with Dad, Uncle Dick, Aunt El and the rest of the family! I will always remember our camping trip in Colorado with fond memories of our childhood.



We all love you Uncle Bill....

GOD Bless and keep you Bill.

I remember all the great times we had together. Saturdays at the VFW with Mike, working on the car, fishing in Hayward and the Mocassin Bar. You were a wonderful boss and a great father in law. I'll miss you always.
