    My Uncle William was a very good and warm hearted man. I will miss seeing him at the Veterans Affairs facility. His great outlook on life and his laugh always made my day brighter. My memory of him will always be the smile on his face when I was talking with him and the joyous conversations we always had. I will miss you Uncle William.
