    Uncle Bill will be missed. I loved his quiet witty since of humor since I was a little girl.

    I will cherish long weekend sleepovers I had with the family as a little girl. And also remember our later in life Big Bang Theory marathons.

    Love you Uncle Bill. And sending all my love to the immediate family.
