I only met uncle Bill a couple of times, and thought he was a genuine fun guy. Our hearts are saddened by his death. My husband Ron (Joe) McBride, remembers fun times with him while he was stationed in Colorado Springs, playing horseshoes and having a few beers. He will be fondly remembered and sadly missed. Our sympathy is with your family during this sad time. (Kim McBride)
