Dear Sue, Reba, Richard, and all the rest of the family,

Bill was always such a wonderful person. He was a delightful model (at least to me) of what a parent should be - involved, supportive, and caring. 

I'm so sorry I won't be able to attend the service.  Hugs and love to all of you!

The memories I have of my grandpa will always be cherished. From instilling a love of jazz in me (I still want to have jazz on in the background-especially when I cook a holiday meal), to his sense of humor (his chips and quac singing hat plate!), how he always had so many drink options and would serve them to me in a glass with ice (that was SO cool when I was a kid!), and so many other little things that made him HIM. 

One time I answered a question he asked me with “yes, sir!” He chuckled and said “just call me grandpa! Or Bill!” That still makes me smile. And my husband’s favorite quote of his was from our wedding. He told us, “hugs and kisses-every night.” 

You are very missed, Grandpa (or Bill!). Thank you for all the fun times and memories and for loving all your grand girls well! 💗

Sue,

I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing.  I will always remember when Bill retired in the early 90's and started taking my morning aerobic dance class at CUMC.  He always made me smile.  I also loved that after Mark passed away and I got into storytelling, that Bill watched all my stories and reposted them on his facebook page.  I am so glad I got to see him (and you) on my visit to SLC in August of 2024.

I know that you will miss him, but I hope all the many happy & fun memories of him will make you smile.

Love, 

Marianne Sheely
