To know Bill is to love Bill! ❤️ I got to know Bill and love him as family for 21 years…and counting.

We did not agree on the best football team. Although he was a diehard Bears fan, he would still give me updates on the Cowboys every time I saw him. He loved his baseball, and I just go to the games for the food. It never stopped him from telling me about all of the teams every time I saw him.

Bill had a way of making you feel like the conversation was all about you. He always made it a point to ask you how you are doing. How work was going for you. What was new in your life.

Bill loved his people to his core. Every time we would tell him we were having another baby, he would respond with “For crying out loud!” but boy did he love his grandchildren! I know secretly he was excited. I love the way that Bill loved his grandchildren & was one of their biggest cheerleaders.

Thank you for accepting me into the family. Thank you for your continual unconditional love. Thank you for being you.

I love you always, sir! ❤️
