My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of my uncle Bill he was a very generous man. The friendship between my uncle Bill and Aunt Pat and my mother and father taught me the true meaning of friendship and loyalty. One of my favorite of memories of many is when he would start singing swing low Sweet Chariot and I would join with my very out of tune voice. He will be truly missed

Sharon and I would like to express our deep sadness and sincere condolences to Pat and family. Bill was a lifelong friend and we shared many adventures together beginning during our childhood days and spilling into adulthood and then finally into old age. It must be said that Bill was born and raised strong-willed, bull-headed and definitely stubborn. He always confronted life challenges head-on with true-grit determination to make the best outcome possible and let the scoreboard reflect far more wins than losses in that regard. Bill loved his family, valued friendships and loyalty and took great pride in helping others as best he could.
Bill, we shared many adventures, experiences and memories together and you will always be remembered as a best friend. Rest in Peace.
