When I was younger every summer was spent swimming and fixing papas pool. All the whirlpools that we’d almost drown in and the holes being patched and after was always karaoke. I remember one time me and my best friend spent the whole day there and after we made up this whole dance to Black Magic Women while papa sang it. I love you papa!

Bill
He was always the brother-in-law that could fix things.
Even little things like angel wings. He loved to give me a bad time.
I will miss him sitting in his chair watching TV or at his 
desk working on his singing. He loved to sing.
He had an excellent voice. You could tell he really loved to
sing. I'm sure he is singing in heaven and we will meet again.
Love, your sister-in-law Coy


I was around my Grandpa a lot growing up, and we did so many different things together: swimming, mountain biking in the hills, racing RC cars, going out on the lakes for his work, eating eggs and waffles for breakfast, and many others. I'm grateful that I got to spend so much time with him and make so many great memories. He was always there for me if I needed him, and sometimes even when I didnt. I'm going to miss being able to talk and do stuff together. I love you Papa.

I loved to sing with Papa Bill. I loved to play with Papa Bill's foot massager. I loved spinning him around in his chair. I will miss Papa Bill. 

I will miss Papa Bill. I loved him and his kisses. I had fun with him especially when we watched silly cat videos, went swimming, and played together. 

From the moment I married into Bill's family he embraced me as family and made me feel loved. I always enjoyed spending time with him watching racing, eating his amazing waffles, swimming, listening to him sing and just sitting and talking with him. Towards his family he was full of love and support. I know he not only loved Ryan and I, but he loved our girls. He would light up when they were around and enjoyed talking and even playing with them, and they loved him right back.  There are many things I will miss about Bill, but I am comforted with the time I was able to spend with him and the memories I have. I loved him dearly. 

Bill was my fishing buddy. He was always wanting to go fishing. One of these trips we were in the camper I was busy cooking my breakfast and I heard this umm ummummm sound .  I turned and saw Bill eating cornflakes  His love for fishing and making food slurping sounds while eating will always be a memory for me. I hope to fish in heaven with Bill. There were lots of good memories of our fishing times 

As I sit to write about Bill I am amazed at the uniqueness of people and how they think.   Some times Bill had a way of saying what I did not want to hear.   When I was young in the days of  make up and big hair: I thought I was all ready for the party. Bill in his unique humor said,( joy its not Halloween yet) letting me know I was wearing to much makeup.   I learned  that some times people see you differently then you see yourself. How about most the time.  Few have the guts to be open about it.   Through the years I saw his compassion for the sick, He loved to sing and always blessed me with a song. One time I was watching a scary movie with Him, I would jump up and scream .   He spent the whole time telling me to sit down and be quiet.   LOL   He would just shake his head and ask me if I wanted some of His candy.  

I remember what an amazing singer Bill was. He was the king of karaoke. He was so relaxed and confident when singing and would really light up the room. I'm glad we were able to experience the joy of his gift.

My earliest memory of Bill is when I was about four when he visited the house with his friend Roy to court my sisters.  I was cautious around the men as I did not have any brothers to relate to. I remember watching them kiss and then their wedding days back-to-back. Later, I would visit my sister Leta and her family. They took me camping and Bill taught me how to ride a motorcycle at the Salton Sea and water ski when I was 12.   Bill was there always sharing his sports with me which I enjoyed during my visits e.g. RC Cars. He also gave me rides on his motorcycle, pulling wheelies with me on the back, while I held on for dear life. 
     In later years, when he adopted Karaoke I refused to sing. For that hobby, he was on his own! I did consent to go and listen to him and did enjoy his professional-sounding renditions of all the songs Elvis made popular. Once and only once he got me to sing at home during Christmas time! 
     Bill was a sugar fiend and so was I. He always shared his secret frozen candy stash with me. He introduced me to my first 7-11 Frozen Slurpee and my first Cadbury creme egg at Easter.  I grew up hearing "we came from monkeys" and in the end, it was thrilling to my heart when he told David A., "Jesus is in my heart". The two weeks of his life he was especially humbled and softened. He left behind his incessant teasing! He told me and all my children that he loved us. He was obviously changed into a new man, one ready for his eternal home.  I know I will see him again in heaven.
