My dear Uncle bill was so much to so many. I loved him to pieces, and always will. He was well respected by all who knew him. He was a brilliant mind. He was a wonderful singer. He will not be forgotten. Say hello to my Mom, Betty, Henry and all the family who have gone before you. I love you Uncle bill and I am sadder than I can say at your passing. I am happy to have seen you before you left us. - Posted by: Sharon Chickoski (Niece) on: Oct 04, 2013
