RIP Bill. You'll be missed.
I was talking to my kids about you just days ago, when I took them fishing. Basically, I was telling how I've never caught a fish in these waters, but I know the fish are there, because I've seen them jump right out of the water for Bill Wieser.

Mary,Robert, Sue &family,
I was so very sad to hear the passing of Billy. Even though we only saw each other at family functions, his smile was infectious, so lovable and friendly. No time lapsed; it's like we saw one another the day before. I'm sure I speak for my entire family, we all feel your loss. Please know you are all in my heart and prayers. Love you, Billy and love to the Wieser family.
All my love,
