It is difficult to pick just one special memory of Uncle Bill. For me he became known simply as U.B. I spent several summers growing up with the Wilson family. First in Alabama & then in Connecticut. Great times! I recall one special moment with U.B. as a young adult. The first time I met Uncle Nick. The first time U.B. made me aware I wasn't just this kid coming to visit Liz and the kids. Uncle Nick had driven up in his new sports car from DC. We had just finished dinner and Uncle Bill and Uncle Nick decided they were going to go for a walk around the neighborhood. Without hesitation, Uncle Bill turned to me and said, "Do you want to come along?" "Sure." I responded. We spend about and hour, the three of us walking and talking. I was so excited to be included. More than once I let him know that "I adopted him." He was the weathliest man I know. He married the love of his life. He raised four good kids. He remained a good Christian steward all his life. I will miss him and his great sense of humor. Love, Lee

I remember coming up to visit your family in Connecticut. I was probably about 18 years old (1972 of so). My Mom and Uncle Bill and Aunt Liz were talking in the living room. Uncle Bill got up and left the room. When he came back he threw me a set of keys. They belonged to a huge station wagon. I don't recall the make. It had a 3 on the tree manual transmission. He told me to take it out and give it a spin. I was shocked that he would let me allow me to drive his car. I was excited and took my brother and sister for a ride around the area. A great memory for me. Both your parents were such nice people. Reinet and I just visited my Mom a few weeks ago and we spent a lot of time visiting with Uncle Bill. He knew my girlfriend, Reinet was from South Africa and he lost no time engaging her in conversation about the opera singer, Kimmy Scota, from South Africa, and they both enjoyed watching her performance on his T.V. He really made her feel so welcome. We will miss his jovial personality and how he "absolutely" loved life. Adrian Roberts & Reinet Du Plessis

I graduated from high school with Bill. We weren't really friends in high school but I've gotten to know him much better these last 15 years going to high school class" get-togethers" & being email friends. He was a great guy & always talked about his great family whom he adored. You are in my thoughts & prayers. Neita Woodward

We were almost across the street.from the Wilson's. I remember Bobby and Jim would run to our house as their refuge whenever their dad was mad at them. Glenn and John enjoyed them snuggling on that giant comfy orange sofa.

It was so long ago and maybe a little fuzzy but I remember after one big snow how Mr. Wilson tasked Bob and Jim to shovel the snow from the driveway. Well, as usual, Bob being the natural Ring Leader, recruited John and I and I believe Mary and Missy too, to help. The next thing ya know, Bob had us putting all of the snow that was being shoveled on to the porch and stairs to the front door. Yup…we were building a bobsled run for that little red single seat bobsled thingamajiggy. The funny thing was it actually worked and we must've been making a ruckus because Mr. Wilson came to the front door and opened it only to see us swooshing down the bobsled run. I remember him looking out, shaking his head and just closing the door. HAHAHAHAHAHA! It was so awesome living across from you guys back then! GREAT TIMES! You all are in our prayers. We love you!

Only met Bill a few times through his precious daughter Mary who just happens to be my sissy in law by marriage to my brother Scott. Bill always had a welcoming smile and I could always tell upon these few meetings that he adored his family one and all. I hold deep respect for Bill in that I love his family so and know each family member is in part who they r partly because of his good character and strong stock. With the most respect, I honor this gentleman who proudly loved and appreciated his family and exuded kindness and sincerity. He will live on through his precious family with their memories and adorning love. God bless to all. Kim Fuller

My prayers go out to Bill's family. I have known Bill since my husband and he started to work for Travelers Insurance the same month in 1958 in Lubbock. Bill and Harvey were great friends until Harvey's death some 5 years ago. Bill and Liz and our family moved to Richardson after some assignments in other locations. Those were such fun times for us as young, growing families. I remember Bill as the happy man others have acknowledged him to be. Most of all, I will always remember him for the Christian man he was and for how much he loved his family. You are blessed to have had him for a father. Ann Jarrell
