My sincerest condolences to Aunt Elaine and family for the loss of Uncle Bill. Some of my happiest childhood memories were in going over to your house on Blake Street when we were children, especially when we could coax Uncle Bill to bring out his movie projector to entertain us! He never complained that there was scads of kids always running around - just watch out for his beer! I remember, too, when he brought out the huge inner tubes to the lake for us - we thought he was just the greatest. And he was. - Posted by: Sandi Cameron () on: Apr 07, 2012
