Everyone has hit so many good points about Grandpa already. The skills he had with his hands and the quality of being one of the most selfless people any one has ever known. Grandpa would put aside anything he had planned to do for the day and come right over to your house and assist you with your plans. It is also very comical that all of the grandchildren have the same memory of setting up a sneak operation to take a few pieces of Grandpa's jelly beans and fruit shaped candy. Grandpa always had the good stuff. Grandpa also liked toughening us up a bit by squeezing our hands and stepping on our feet. I never got mad when he did this. I could tell he wanted to see what we could take. Looking back it makes me laugh. Grandpa was also a master with instruments. As Britt pointed out, he loved having everyone gathered around the organ, especially during Christmas time singing Christmas carols. He would sit there and play the organ as long as the kids wanted to keep on singing. Grandpa was a perfectionist when it came to the appearance of his deck. He made it feel like we were in a living room when we were really all outside. It was such a cozy family feeling. He loved his pool and everything that went along with it. He was not so fond of the kids running around the pool or using his floats as toys, but we did it anyway. Grandpa was and always will be one of a kind. He will be missed greatly. Grandpa, may you always look down on us from above, as we will always look up to you. We love you!

Grandpa was one of the most talented individuals I have ever met. We’re talking about a guy that could construct things only men dream of. A “master of his trade” would be considered an understatement. There are few people in the world today that could ever accomplish what Gramps could do in his sleep. Fortunately for us not so talented or just unknowledgeable he was never selfish in lending a helping hand or taking the time in teaching his techniques. And for this he was a true gentleman in my book. From his amusing jokes to his witty comebacks he always had something to say to either cheer you up or piss you off. Either way it was always predictable but not always intentional. All you can do is look back and smile and always know he would get in the last word and laugh. Such a comedian Gramps was. As a matter of fact I still use some of those off colored jokes I learned from him when I was just a kid. Also, as Brit and Kim mentioned, I will never forget the secret squirrel top secret missions to extract the candy out of Grandpa's dish without making a peep. You had to be as quite as possible because half the time he was sound asleep in his chair, which happened to be right next to the candy. I remember plotting at times for hours on how I would accomplish this, especially when he had those candy fruit slices (the good stuff). The funny thing is I don’t think anyone ever took the nuts he always had on the table as well. Grandma, sometimes when I’m sitting on my chair in front of my T.V. and I have a bit of candy or some nuts on my little table I always think of grandpa. However, it never lasts long because the minute I turn my head my little ones pull a “grab and go” on me. I guess what goes around comes around. I guess what I’m trying to say is at the end of the day Gramps left a place in our hearts and in our lives in some special way, and for this his memories will last forever and never be forgotten. Love you Gramps! God speed and forever rest in peace.

Grandpa Bill (PaPa) will be greatly missed. He left us with many great memories that we will always remember. He cared very much for his whole family and their well - being. I will always remember all of his habits. He always liked to have dinner around 6:00 to 6:30. Then, whenever he got his dinner from Grandma, he would always say, "Thank you dear!" Furthermore, he always loved to sit in his chair downsairs and watch TV. Whenever he was watching a football game, Grandma always said that she could hear him screaming at the TV. Moreover, Papa was always interested about my piano playing, as he loved to play it himself. I will always think of him while I progress further through my piano playing. He will be greatly missed and live in our hearts forever.

I'd have to agree with Kim. He by far had the best candy. You could always count on getting jelly beans in one of the dishes, but like she said we were always sneaky about it, especially if he was fast asleep in his chair right next to the jar. I'm pretty sure I continued to be secretive about it even as an adult :-) I also remember him playing the piano for us when we were younger. I played the violin and Julie played the flute with him and we would have our own little concerts downstairs in the extra room. We love you Grandpa Bill and you will be missed. ~Britt

He could hold his breath and swim underwater longer then anyone else I knew. He tried to teach us grandkids how to recycle our oxygen underwater, but it never worked for me. He was the master. David and I were grounded from swimming at my sister’s birthday party. Grandpa Bill deliberately threw my brother in the pool. Grandpa was the kind of grandpa, who had to ensure an ounce of fun for us while sitting poolside grounded at my sister's birthday party. He had the best candy and we loved raiding grandpa's candy dish! We had to make sure the "clink" of the glass jar wouldn't make noise or our parents would hear (we had it down to a science: the trick was to cover the jar with your entire hand to ground the vibration to your palm/fingers). Grandpa was the best judge of our diving contests and loved lighting the pool for us with his tiki torches. I will continue to grow with the memories of grandpa sitting poolside, in the summer, lighting the way. I am going to miss him. I love you Grandpa Bill. Love, Kimberly Maire

Gram, You both are so very loved and have family and friends who will be here for you, whether across the room or across many miles. There is a lot to remember and celebrate, and we will do so for a very long time. Grandpa Bill did love to have some fun and make us all have some too. There are pieces of him everywhere, including woodwork around the house. He will be tied to many things, including motorcycle rides, suntans and patios by the pool, and even hanging holiday decorations such as Easter eggs. I will always remember his witty remarks and keeping us on our toes. Most importantly, I will remember the smiles and happiness he brought to Gram and I hope that that will never go away. Mat and I are thinking of you and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. We love you and are here for you always.
