Uncle Bill,

I am so grateful for what we went through together. Especially the times when things got rough for through that our bond and relationship strengthened. You and Aunt Cyndi took me in and raised me, no questions asked. You were my parents, and I am going to miss you so much. It was an honor to caretake and do things for you these last couple of years. You taught me so much of what I know and have become. I will never ever be able to watch a cowboys game without thinking of you. I would give anything to be able to watch one more game with you. I will love and miss you as long as I am on this earth.

I'm deeply sorrowed to hear that Bill has died. He was a great friend of mine. I would visit him at Salmar daily, and would end up spending hours there when I wasn't in school, helping him receive boxes of records and cassettes into his inventory. I would marvel at his collection of Cowboys pictures in his office. When I became old enough to drive, I would wash and wax his car for him. He and Cindy both were top-drawer people. My deepest sympathies to his survivors and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Billy. It has been many years since I have had the pleasure of Billy's company. I have many fond memories of him from high school,and greatly admired his entrepreneurial skills and success as a record store owner, and most of all his love and care of Cynthia.
