This pic was taken at my 40th Anniversary at work. Bill was past President/Boss and attended. I am saddened to hear the loss of a great, special, amazing man! I want to thank the family for mentioning me in the Eulogy; very nice! Our sincere condolences, sympathy and continued prayers to Freda and the family.

You were a great man and will be greatly missed. Thank you for all the amazing memories. We are thinking of your family in these times.

Uncle Bill, I shall miss seeing you on my return trips to Iowa. My childhood memories are filled with having so much fun when our 2 families got together; water skiing on lake Minnetonka; coming to your house in Ankeny for family visits; Sunday night spent watching the Wonderful World of Disney in Ankeny with both families; Aunt Freda making the most spectacular meals for all of us; Aunt Freda's cookies and cakes (sooooo good); our trip to Las Vegas with my mom and dad, Aunt Verda, Aunt Freda, and Sue and Mike; the memories shall continue for eternity. You were one of the best Uncles a child could ever wish for; may you rest in peace Uncle Bill. Psalm 23 for you Uncle Bill: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
