Our deepest condolences to Nancy and Bill’s entire family. I met Bill when we worked together at Shop N Save many years ago. What a coincedence that I ended up moving right across the street from him years later. Bill and Nancy really enjoyed all the block parties we had over the years. Bill would always speak to neighbors while sitting in his garage. He truly cared about his neighbors. And when he became very sick, his biggest worry was making sure he took care of Nancy. I knew Bill as a very emotional man. He always asked about my grandkids, he basically watched them grow up over the years. He cried like a baby when my grandson died. I will never forget that. Bill will be missed by all his neighbors. I already miss seeing him and talking to him in the garage. May God rest his soul and watch over Nancy, the love of his life.

Starting my life in Kirkwood with most all my Aunts and Uncles living close by ,
They would gather and play cards and drink a few Budweisers , maybe more.
I was an emotional child from birth , and while playing cards I was elsewhere getting into something.
That something was one if those plastic white curtain rings , the kind sewn onto the top of the curtain.
The ring was stuck FOREVER on my index finger and the crybaby I was , I went in to break the news..
Bill kept telling me that if soap didn’t get it off , he’d have to cut my finger off.
You know as a child how much of a crying nightmare went through my head.
After cards were finished , it was time for surgery.
My eyes swollen from crying all night ,
Uncle Bill came at me with a pair of snippers and cut that ring off.
I can still remember his teasing laugh.
I’ll miss hearing my name he called me.
Kell Kell.
We’ ll see you again
Love your Kelly Girl.
