    Uncle Bill as I have always known you. From the very first time that I met you. Which was many many years ago, you have always made me laugh and smile.The days of sitting on the front porch on 531 McIntosh Ave were priceless. Yes, you had that appeal on anyone you ever met. Your memories will live on forever. You will be truly missed by many. May your love ones remain strong.

    Rest In Heavenly Peace.
