There are lots of fond memories of Uncle Bill, including his work ethic, his love of baseball, and his smile. He now enjoys God's eternal life.

Bill was one of the most amazing persons we have known and we are so glad that we were able to spend some time with him and Rubena (another amazing person). You both set great examples of how to live and love. Sincere sympathy to the entire family at this difficult time.
