Bill will be dearly missed by his family and friends; he was a wonderful husband and a great father.
You will always be in my heart & thoughts daily. I miss you so very much dad. I will always make you proud of me in whatever I do.
I was very fortunate to get a series of Seattle layovers shortly before retiring from UAL so I could spend some time with you and Bill. I enjoyed those times, going to the buffet for lunch, to the casino, or just sitting around the house watching home videos or going through Grandma’s old pictures. I would love to have some of those old pictures. There was one I especially liked when their car was all packed up to head out west, and they looked just like ‘The Grapes of Wrath’…or the Clampetts, one of the two.
Sylvia, I always said you and Bill were one of the very few who ever truly found their soul mates. That makes me especially sad for you. I’m so sorry…
I am so happy I got to make it out to Kent & see Uncle Bill. Spend some time with him & see how much he reminded me of Dad. I will always remember that trip. wish he could of got back to minn one more time.
Love you Kathy
