On Saturday June 29th, I lost my best friend, my love, my confidant. I will be eternally grateful to have loved Bill for 50 short years. I know Bill is resting in Gods loving arms and is no longer in pain. And in time the hole in my heart will heal. And someday we will be together again. Until then I will cherish the memories we made. I love and miss you.
I have never known another man to be so loving, confident, happy, and friendly as my Grandpa. Being an EMT, Firefighter, Welder, and Jack of trades, he has lived a full life. He’s saved so many lives, and pushed everyone he met to accomplish their dreams. He was my Grandpa, Father-figure, my best friend, and my hero. I have always looked up to him, hoping I could achieve what he has. I will always cherish the memories he has given me, his knowledge, love, and willingness to help anyone in need. He has taught me so much, and I hope I can continue teaching others, just as he has done for me. You are forever in my heart Grandpa.
Bill will never be forgotten and will always be loved. There are so many wonderful memories Bill. My husband was Bill’s older brother and when he passed, Bill and his family moved to Arizona to help me and my children. Bill always did for others and always took care of his family the way all men should. A great person has left this earth but the memories will always be with us.
This has been by far the hardest journey to go through. You are more than just a great father, you taught me I can handle anything that cones my way and to always push yourself to be better. I remember you showing the basics on automotive, how to shingling a roof, not to be afraid to venture out of my comfort zone. You’ve been a wonderful, mentoring grandpa to my son and he’s friends just as you’ve done for mine too. Now I keep looking for all the tools that you’ve educated me over the years and how to handle the days to come and continue without you physically here. May you be at peace and guide us through these rough times.
Grandpa, in the time I have known you, you have taught me so much. Thank you for welcoming me into your home and including me in your family. I’m blessed to have known you and I’m grateful for the time I’ve had with you and your family. It never ceases to amaze me how many lives you have touched and brought happiness and love to. We will miss you everyday. Always in our hearts and our hearts and in our minds.
You have always been such a constant fixture in our lives that even though you were not loud, the world seems quieter without you here. You were always there when we needed you, lending an ear, a hand or guidance. The love you always showed for us was never a question. The night you passed a void was left behind, it has been the hardest moments to bare. I find comfort in knowing you are still with us and we will see each other again. Thank you for the incomparable unconditional love you have given us, you will forever be missed and never forgotten. Love you forever and always in my mind.
