Hi lavonne! Sorry for your loss. I didn't know uncle bill well, but visited with him a few times over the years. Do you have any childhood stories to tell? My dad didn't say much about that …

Oh Billy, how I will miss my big brother. The family historian. You had our Dad's personality. Patient, kind and always thinking of others before yourself. May God bless you and Rest In Peace with your beloved Margie.:pray::pray::pray:

Both of my grandfathers had died before I was born. But Bill more than filled the missing Grandpa role for me once I married into the family. Over the past few decades I got to know and love him. We spent many times together. He taught me many of his handyman skills, we shared a love for carpentry and fixing things, and worked on several projects together. We also just spent time together, along with his wife, Marge and mine, Kelley. Whether at their house, our house or at a restaurant having lunch (one of their favorite pastimes), these meetings will always be fondly remembered, especially the many stories of the travels and adventures of Bill and Marge.
Rest now in peace, Grandpa Bill. It has been my good fortune and privilege to have had such a fine adopted Grandfather in my life. -Duane Lula
