Dearest Bill, You were such a good person, always thinking about other people. You were a good listener and story teller. We all loved to hear about the adventures and escapades of your life. You could fix anything from a toaster to a broken heart and were pretty good with a sling shot, too. You loved spending time with family, but we know your greatest love was Rose and you are with her once again. Thank you for being the BEST father-in-law ever! Will miss you! Love, Mary

God Bless and give grandma my love. Love ya and miss ya, Steve
