Dad,

May You Rest In Peace!

Love Your Daughter,
Janet

Bill knew who I was weeks before I was even born, I am now 26 yrs old.  Him and his wife would take me in their home after the school bus dropped me off when my parents were not home on-time. They would feed me sandwiches and oatmeal cookies which eventually became my favorite to this day! 

He taught me many things and I am grateful for the time he would spend teaching me as a young boy. He was a neighbor, friend and teacher. He was really part of my family (an uncle you may say), just under another roof. 

I wish I could have called you my Uncle Bill. He had a big heart for animals as much as he did for people.  I cannot say enough great things about him.  He showed pride and honor in his work working with his hands. 

Bill: Thanks you for not only helping me in fixing my bike, the lawn mower, the basketball hoop, and the various cars that occupied our driveway among many other things, but also teaching me how to fix these things myself. You taught me through example that any one man can make a difference. As the saying goes "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." You Bill have taught me many things for me to carry throughout my lifetime. Thanks for caring and following up. Thanks for never forgetting. Thanks for not telling my parents when I sneaked my High School girlfriend at the time through the side window. Thank you for all you have done. I will never forget you and I will try to live my live learning from your values as a Man. You never wanted anything in return but a smile. 

He only wanted the best for others. Seeing others happy and prosperous made him happy.  I can now only be happy that you're in a better place watching us all up above.

Thanks again for the memories, lessons, guidance, and love. You da MAN!! Uncle Bill.  

You still live in my heart.

Bill,

Was my neighbor for 15 years. He was always willing to help and was not only a wonderful neighbor, but a tremendous friend. He will be missed, but not forgotten. My prayers goes out to his wife Arline. We will always be there to help.

God bless,

Ozzie, Madeline and Family
