The world lost a great guy...

Last night my father in law had a stoke and died, those are the simple facts. Bill was one of those all around good guys, always with a story or two to tell. We had the privilege of spending time with him on Max's birthday and then a few days later on Christmas Eve.


I made him a western apron for his new BBQ.... He wore it the whole night and modeled it well!
Tim has been wanting a Swiss army knife and we knew Bill would be the "perfect" one to pick one out for him. Here is Tim and Bill when he opened it. Bill later had a good talk with him alone on safety and responsibility...

Here he is with Max, Bill always understood because we only see each other every few months that Max had to warm up to them. After being here for his Birthday a few days before, Max ran out of the house when they arrived on Christmas eve yelling Grandpa Bill and Bana, Grandpa Bill and Bana. He even gave him a big hug as they left.

If there was ever a time that I was with someone and had to think back and say is there something I should have said or did we leave on a sour note this was not one of them. Bill raved all night what a nice eveing it was he gave everyone their bear hugs and it was a perfect night one I will remember forever.

We will miss you Bill....
