I will miss you Uncle Bill. I remember when my mom (Rheba Jan Menke-McCotter) would take me to visit him he would always say that I stole his curly hair from him and that is why he went bald. Uncle Bill I am taking great care of you curls. You will be truly missed by all and missed especially by my Granny.

My Uncle "Bull" was the BEST. He had the most amazing personality and could light up the room and make anyone smile just by entering. He had a huge loving heart for his family, friends and God. I am thankful for all of the years he was with us and all of the great memories that I will forever have.

I will miss Bill always wanting to race our power chairs.The last time I saw Bill a couple of weeks ago he told me he did not feel well.He always had a smile reguardless of how he felt.I would look for him in his corner in his chair at the back of the curch.
Great man a true man of God.Loved his God and he loved his church family.
Bill one day we will meet again where there is no pain or suffering.

I will always remember Mr. Bill by his smile, the strolls he would take in our neighborhood to visit others and the special hug he gave me before Church on Sunday's. He was a very special man and I know for sure that he is dancing in Heaven with our Jesus!

Denise, I was so surprised and saddened to read of George's death. I had talked to him last week and he said he wasn't feeling well so I ask him to call me when he felt better. I tried on Friday and got his voicemail and left a message. Please email me or call when things settle down. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
