Bill was/is my Father in law.  Bill and I had/have a great relationship.  A bond that I will treasure my entire Life.  The Love we have will never be lost.

Bill was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer June 2013.  He fought an amazing battle, unfortunately cancer won.  Bill left us July, 2014.
