Know Bill is a great place now. Great family was close by. I thank him for my wonderful wife Ebbie. You did good my man.
Wow What a Wonderful Man. Bill and I met when I was 4 yrs. old and we moved in as neighbors on Dryad close to 60 yrs. ago. I had a brother, but no sisters. Robert had all sisters, but no brother. We were very close during our young childhood and those rough teenage years. Many, many, meals were shared together, sometimes I just invited myself as my mom was cooking liver, but I knew it would be okay with Bill (what’s one more kid).
The memories are so very strong and Bill, You will Never be Forgotten.
I thank you, Daddy, the smartest man I’ve ever know, for being the best Dad I could ever ask for, and the best Granddad, too. I’m so sad that you’ve gone from this earth, but I’m thankful that your suffering has been replaced by God’s perfect peace. I love you, and I’ll miss you every day — till I get there, too.
