Bill was the anchor and hero of our family. His love was very deep for his wife, Kathy, every one of his children, Tom (Keomany), Steve (Rachel), Krystle (Jeff), and grandchildren, Donovin, Teng, Collin, Carter, Cody and Joanna. He was a staunch advocate for each of his grandchildren and there were times when their parents were less than happy with that advocacy. Bill's sense of responsibility was evident in his penchant to take control of issues for the tax office, children's home projects, and sister's minor home and vehicle repairs. Bill was a truly wise man who was a living example of his love and support of those he held dear. Our hearts are broken and he will be forever missed.

Bill, an awesome husband, father, grandfather and Brother-In-Law! Pete and I will miss you for sure. Pete is so thankful that he was able to spend that week up north last fall together and will never forget it. I have a lot of memories too over the last 50+ years, but too many to mention here. Love you, Bill! We know you will be looking down of all of your family. May God keep you by His side always.

One of the things I loved most about Uncle Bill was his quiet chuckle. It wasn't so much a laugh, but like he had an inside track on a private joke. At family gatherings and other occasions he and I would be talking and he would observe some sort of shenanigan and chuckle that signature chuckle. He was always kind and gracious to me. When a young man full of spit and vinegar, he would listen to my dreams and share his experiences launching and running a business. I loved being around him because he loved me and it was demonstrated in the time he took and the words he shared. There are many things about Uncle Bill I admire; however, I pray that I can make room for people in my life in a similar manner as he made room for me.

Thinking of you everyday. Your passing has left a huge void in everyone's hearts and lives. Multiple times a day I think of you, whether it's from seeing something you fixed at our house or because the grass is getting long. It's just not fair you had to go. Carter and Joanna are the ones who will truly miss out on having their "Papa" around. At least Carter will have some fond memories of you but we will have to make sure Jojo knows exactly who you were and what an awesome roll model you were!! Love you and miss you always! ❤️❤️❤️
