    Dear Bill is once again with the love of his life, Connie. He was a dedicated Christian, loved and cared for his entire family, a good friend. We will miss our MANY “Hand and Foot” matches. Much love and sympathy to his beautiful family.

    Uncle Bill, sometimes silly, always a loving Christian man. We had many good visits and talks over 38 years. He was a talented landscaper and enjoyed helping others- in and outside the family with an eye for perfection. Condolences to his family still on earth… he will be watching over you until you meet again .
