To my little brother billie who I will miss. As children, we grew up always fighting like cats and dogs. He sure knew how to push my buttons and turn me into a screaming mimi. No wonder our mother almost went crazy.  The beautiful thing about family is that you don't always see eye to eye but you never stop loving them. It's a very special bond. God bless you and may you be in the arms of mom and dad.  I love you and look forward to seeing you again, and next time will be for eternity. With love ❤

It was 1978 when Billy and I became friends when I worked at Jacks Ski Haus and Bill asked me to teach him to snow ski the next weekend at Bear Valley. We became instant friends and Billy and I traveled to every resort from Dodge Ridge to Vail Colorado when I was a rep for Olin Skis and partying like there was no tommarrow  and he was always a blast to travel  with! Billy met a beautiful girl Leslie, ( his first wife ) and she also would accompany us where ever the fun was but lost her to cancer not long after they married. Billy was a great carpenter and craftsman and had a great  company with his dad and brother when I was a electrical contractor in the 80s . Billy would be at my shop at 4 pm everyday after work,in the summer months with a case of beer and ready to go water skiing at the lake and ski till dark!  Bill was always the life of the party and I loved him like a brother but as we grew up and married got busy climbing the ladder of life only to reconnect on Facebook after I moved to Monterey/ Carmel Ca 20 years ago and planned on getting together soon . Billy, I hope to see you on the other side partner and you can give me back my skis I loaned you 30 years ago. Im miss you and will always remember you pal, as a man who was always about being kind to people in need  and Im sure, God  will enjoy your laughs as I have Billy! My heartfelt condolences to your beautiful wife and family from all of us in the Weakley family! till me meet again.....

Billie was a great man i meet him when i was married to my ex wife .Billie was a good friend and caring person .He will be missed dearly my condoles go out to his family and wife .Rest in peace you are in gods hands now and with your mom and dad rest in peace.

We used to hang out with Bill and Terry before little Bobby was born. When Bobby was born we used to take him cruising down McHenry in our 56 Ford pick up. He would stand in the middle and hang on to the gun racks. No car seats then and no gun racks now. When we were going to buy our first house we didn't have enough money in the bank for a downpayment so Billy went and asked his dad for a check to put in our bank so we could get our loan. He was a crazy nut and Wild but also very thoughtful of how he could help other people.  We are grateful to have known Billy and his family. We offer our sincere condolences and are sorry we will not be able to attend the funeral. We are keeping you in our prayers.

Bill was a good man met him riding Harley’s a few times met up at Street Vibrations 
And a ride or two local 
Always thoughtful and fun to be with
Rest in paradise brother

Golfing with my grandpa - Him and my grandma came to Spokane, WA for my wedding in their RV in June 2016, and they stayed at the local golf course. Of course, my grandpa rolls into town with the RV loaded down with cases of wine and liquor for the wedding. He made sure my wedding was the party everyone would remember forever. We spent that month golfing, BBQing, and celebrating as a family. We made memories I will cherish forever. With my grandpa's vivacious personality and zest for life, there was never a dull moment. My grandpa was always the first one to say, "get a picture of me and my beautiful  granddaughters." And for that I'm so thankful, because I have many pictures to remember all of the great times we had.
