I will never forget all the hours we had spent talking on the phone over our years. I was glad to be your big brother, Bill. I will miss you very much, and you will not be forgotten easily, I loved you so much. Rest In Eternal Peace, and I am glad you are now, with our beloved mother.
Bill was a nice guy and a good friend he love to fish and spend time with his friends. And having a good time with people he love. Bill has been a friend of my since childhood. And I’m going to miss him alot but we will meet again on the other side. If people knew the real Bill. He had a good heart and would help anyone I love him as a friend and a brother and I’m going to miss him people like Bill is hard to find.
Bill and I had some great times and talks. We were much closer when we were young.
If you knew Bill when he was his happy self, he was a real blessing. He had a heart of gold. When he seen a need he would give the shirt off his back if it was all he had.
His favorite hobby was trout fishing.
I believe we will meet again.
Love your brother Harry.

My son William was bipolar which made his life difficult at times. When he was able to work he could not tolerate anyone who did not do his best. I remember his good times when he would send Carol and I such meaningful cards. William had a soft heart for children and was his happiest when around them. William loved to fish. We got to go fishing during his last visit. That was a good time together. Praying for William and his brothers and sisters has been a special time for us. John14:6
