    No words can express the sadness we feel by Uncle Bill’s passing. Uncle Bill was kind, welcoming and genuine. I’m glad for the time I knew him and the fun times we had together. I was very lucky to have him and Aunt Ethel in my life. Regards to Aunt Ethel, Ruth, Darren, Craig and all your family at this tough time.
