Margo ZoernerUncle Bill will always be remembered for his gentle nature and warm personality. He was a loving and happy person who had a kind word to say to everyone he encountered. I was fortunate to know him and be his niece for 47 years! During that time I only heard him say wonderful things about everyone he knew! He was dearly loved by family and friends, and had a very playful heart. I still smile when I remember getting a new bike for Christmas when I was a very young girl. I asked my Uncle Bill to come down the basement to try it out, and despite his knees scraping on the floor, he joyfully rode around the basement MANY times. Years later my three year old son announced at Thanksgiving dinner, "I want that man to come sit by me." Of course, he was pointing at my Uncle Bill who eagerly left his place at the "adult" table to enjoy his meal and conversation with my little boy. It was a beautiful memory and a perfect example of Uncle Bill's loving heart. I know that Auntie Terry, Billy, Dana, Scott, Michael and all of the family members will miss him dearly. I hope that in time, every memory of him will fill your minds and hearts with the love he would want you to feel. Deepest sympathy and love. "Niece Margo"
