My memories of Bill (known to me as Billy) was when as a child. I went with my family to visit Aunt Jean, Uncle Al & family. I always enjoyed our visit with them & as I got older admired how well Bill was looked after. I have been amazed at how long he lived & enjoyed life.
Our sincere condolences to all his family! I know he will be missed by his family.
