I have so many memories of Uncle Bill. My favorite was when I went to stay with him and Aunt Bonnie during a tough time for me. We went camping and I was sitting by the fire crying and he came and sat by me. Just sat by me so I wasnt alone. The whole two weeks I was there was so special. Growing up we spent a lot of time with Uncle Bill and Aunt Bonnie. I loved him.
My husband and I have had a long friendship with Bill and his wife, Bonnie. Bonnie and I were good friends throughout Jr. and Sr. High School. My husband and Bill became friends while serving in the US Navy. They stood up for us at our wedding, as we did for theirs. We remained friends ever since..even after they moved to Colorado and we remained in Washington State. He will be remembered with love.
