Uncle Bill always treated me as one of his own kids. His door was always open and he was always there when you needed someone to talk to. I spent a lot of my childhood at his house, we ate a lot of pop tarts, pizza, and soda. He always had love for the Cubs, Hockey, his kids, and grandkids. You will always be missed and remembered. I love and miss you Uncle Bill.
