Bill was a man with no airs, just a very nice man.  He had a great love for his entire family especially Ethel, Gary and Brian.  My heart goes out to them for the loss of such a special man. God bless you all.

Uncle Bill was always so kind and relaxed, especially with our crazy family.  I have missed holidays at the kids’ table.  I loved how he drove me and my children around to get a look at Amish families.  Yes, he did that for us!  I will miss you, Uncle Bill.  I will forever remember your kindness, your “uncle” sense of humor, and how wonderful you and Aunt Ethel were together.  Rest in Peace.
