I have many great memories of Uncle Bill, especially the week-long summer family reunions that were held for many years. He was always fun to be around, and he always had a great story to tell. He was a great man, and he will be missed dearly.

My love and condolences to all the family members. I know he will be greatly missed by those who knew him. Wanna thank him for his service in the military in the air force. I met him on occasion while he was living in Tucson at the Branding Iron Park where I met and grew as friends and work companions at Anderson Painting for a few years with his two son's David and Keith. God bless his family as they move on in his loving memories Amen.
