Jeremiah 31:13
Then maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
Your father is in pure comfort and joy now. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Jim, Rosalie and your family.

I Am Always With You
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.
I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
That it is only for a while that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear
And then, when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home".

Jim, and Rosalie, and Family...we are so sorry to hear the news.
Bill was always such a gentleman. We know the difficulities he experienced recently, and althought modest in stature, he was a giant in personality and grace and style. We have such great memories of our visits with him, and especially the "cheers" we shared over lunch at "Bobby's"! We always went to Bobby's!!!
These are always difficult times, but we remember Bill fondly and with love. Know that he is

“Because I have loved life,
I shall have no sorrow to die.” Amelia Burr
My father had a special light that touched so many people, I know it will continue to shine forever.
My father was my biggest hero and I have always wished to be more like him. My father was amazingly strong, cleverly funny, abundantly caring and warm. He had a capacity for seeing the positive and pointing out the good in everything. He loved me unconditionally.

My father had a special light that touched so many people, I know it will continue to shine forever.
My father was my biggest hero and I have always wished to be more like him. My father was amazingly strong, cleverly funny, abundantly caring and warm. He had a capacity for seeing the positive and pointing out the good in everything. He loved me unconditionally. He gave me my appreciation for nature and I learned about competition and sports from him. We shared opinions in politics and I learned history from him. Most importantly, he gave me a sense of humor.
I have so many special memories. I remember when we would watch TV he would throw a pillow at me during the scary part and laugh to see me jump. He would make me ice cream sundaes in fancy glasses and we would cuddle on the couch and watch Red Skelton. We would go for walks and he would hold my hand and tell me the weeping willow was crying and make little whimpering noises. He would ride the roller coaster with me while Mother would go for a walk because she couldn’t stand to watch( and we would laugh). I got to know him best after Mother died, I will forever cherish that time we spent together . Once, we drove to South Carolina to see Lisa when Sam was a small baby and we spent the day sight seeing and shopping with the baby while Lisa was at work. I will always remember what he said to me right before they took him for a surgery he wasn’t expected to survive, “Joanie, you look tired. You need to get some sleep.” As they wheeled him away he gave us 2 hands with thumbs up.
I am sure he is looking down at us, giving the 2 thumbs up with a smile.
Daddy, your special qualities are life long gifts to me and because of that, no matter what, you will always will be with me.
I love you with all my heart, Joanie

To the most diplomatic, even-tempered Mayor of the city, the bravest of amusement park participants, and the most considerate conversationalist I will ever know.... You made it so simple to love you, Grandpa, and I will miss you dearly.
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.

The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

We will miss our best friend and biggest supporter. No matter how uncomfortable you became, you would always ask, "how are you feeling Jimmie...Rosalie...? I worry about you".
You loved sports - your Seminoles and the Bucs. Weekends during football season will be lonely. There will be a void in our hearts forever. Love, Jim and Rosalie

We were very saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Bill. Even though in past years, personal contact has been somewhat infrequent, family - and especially Uncle Bill - have always been in our thoughts and memories.

We were very saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Bill. Even though in past years, personal contact has been somewhat infrequent, family - and especially Uncle Bill - have always been in our thoughts and memories.
Leith, especially, has many fond memories of Uncle Bill, Aunt Myra (and her Mom and Pop), and all family members.
He also remembers the "ringing of the bells" on Christmas Eve. Perhaps that is why he continued the same tradition with his own kids. He also remembers when his father, Jim, would call Uncle Bill and family - especially at Christmastime. There were many wonderful visits to Lewiston, NY, from Niagara Falls.
Uncle Bill had such a calming and reassuring voice that will always be fondly remembered.
Obviously Uncle Bill and Dad (Jim) had a very strong brotherly bond and it was great that they were able to spend some retired years together in Florida.
Missing them BOTH - Love and condolences to ALL.
Leith
P.S. We remember our trip to Florida when we stayed in the mobile home that Betty and Jim had purchased which had nothing in it. Myra and Bill were so nice and accommodating and we enjoyed the time spent with them. I can still picture Uncle Bill frequently riding his bicycle!!

He was the most giving, thoughtful, and excepting person you ever met. His smile and hugs made you feel special. It was a great honor to know him, and he will be greatly missed!
