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
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.
