Uncle Bill a true family man. Always there for a soft and hard shoulder. He had way of helping you the right way sometimes what you want to hear and sometimes what you needed to hear even if you didn't like what you heard. A strong man of his faith and he was doing the right thing in his later years of life. I'm very thankful the times shared al though they may have been few they were quality times. I loved my Uncle Bill and know he will continue to watch over his family. There will be times that you know he is around. I believe you will feel him more in your presence now than ever before. Gods healing grace to all and rest in peace Uncle Bill you have served your family well.
