Uncle Bill will be sadly missed by all who knew him. My greatest memory of him is that he always had chewing gum or candy in his pocket and you knew that if you saw him that was what you were going to get. Much love to Aunt Justine through this time of loss….
So sorry to hear about the death of Bill, he and I started at Sand Hill school in first grade together and was in same class through graduation in 1939.
Justin my thoughts are with you.

My Uncle Bill was and still is in my heart, the funniest man I ever knew.. Between he and my other Uncle Tom, You knew you were in for funny stuff to say the least. He ALWAYS had a smile on his face and some jokes for you… He was truly a wonderful Uncle and I will truly miss his personality and great presence….
