Billy,there’s so much to say about you and your loving family.I remember on big pick up day you would get out early and I told you guess you will be getting all the hidden treasures because I don’t get up early enough to beat the master of bulk day.Oh how you made anyone and everyone feel like a part of your family,you and Trisha had what lots of people don’t and that was you both never met a stranger.You will be missed by all your family and friends and you will always be known to so many as Uncle Billy.Im sure bud and buddy couldn’t wait to give you the tour of heaven,now it’s a much sweeter place.

As we celebrated the life and memories of Uncle Bill I looked around the room and there was not an empty seat. The lobby was filled with people. I witnessed grown men crying. This was a true testament to the man Uncle Bill was. He had the biggest heart and never met a stranger. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, best friend, and now he is an angel to his family. I will miss that laugh. I have so many fond memories growing up. Uncle Bill you will forever be in our hearts. We love you always. Tiffany and Kylee
