9 Jan 2025Uncle Bill, you will be missed by many. I remember so many visits with you and Aunt Kim from my childhood. Those visits continued into adulthood as my wife and I were able to visit you. We enjoyed all of the beautiful locations and roadtrips around the state, especially our yearly trips to Cripple Creek. We love you Uncle Bill.

9 Jan 2025Uncle Bill, I am so grateful for knowing you and the time we had together. I will miss our late night talks, dominoes, (which I am sure you let me win) and holding hands on the way to Cripple Creek. You made me smile and I will miss your infectious laugh and big grin. I can just imagine the reunion in Heaven , being back with your family. I love you and you are forever in my heart.

9 Jan 2025Aunt Kim I’m sorry for your loss, Uncle Bill was one of a kind. I always loved when you visited Grandpa (Woody) Grandma (Jimmy) and we got to spend time together taking trips to get ice cream or driving to Ocean.
Uncle Bill will always be remembered in my heart.

9 Jan 2025Uncle Bill was truly one of a kind. His dry humor was in comparison to no one, he could make a joke out of anything that came up.
He ( & Aunt skin) was warm, kind and welcoming the times we were able to visit.
A special thanks to them for opening their home up to my oldest son (Shane). I’m grateful for the opportunity and memories during the time he spent with them.
RIP Uncle Bill, our loss is heavens gain, you not only meet your Lord and Savior face to face, but joint those that went before you.
Until we met again 🌹

9 Jan 2025Pops as I called him was good caring man. I loved him very much. We always had a good time together talking about a lot of different things. He always had a good ear. He was so in love with Miss Kim and it showed every time I went and saw them. He will always have a very special place in my heart. I love you Pops.
