Dearest Kim, Mike and Jeff and family. What can we say at this time. The picture of Bill that you posted is the way we want to remember him. Life has been so hard for all of you watching your dad going through this devastating illness. The hardest think in life is watching someone you love suffer and not being able to fix it. Now Bill's suffering is over and it is time to cherish all the good memories. He always took pride in his children and grandchildren. Allen and Bill had a fun relationship. Daily meetings and walks at the Promenade. Endless phonecalls to each other everyday. Gone to soon but never to be forgotten. We miss you Bill

My dear friend Bill... how I will miss your comforting smile!!! I will think of you ALWAYS when anyone tells me they are a fan of my singing... I will know they "might" be.... but NEVER as big a fan as you over and over proved to be! I loved and will forever cherish all our times together hanging out in your little paradise called "Las Vegas". I do know you are now at peace and happy with your beautiful wife! To Kim, Mike and other siblings and grandchildren... I am SO very sorry for you loss. Your dad was a kind, smart, happy human that touched me and my family's life in very loving ways and will forever be remembered! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if I can be of any help. From me, Avalon, Alani and John... hugs to all and our condolences!
