Sorry for your loss.##imported-begin##Joe Panici##imported-end##
Pat - - I'm sad to hear about the loss of your father. Try to remember all the happy times you had as a family and now with Marie and the boys as a bigger family. A parent is one that you think of often and for a long time. Time will heal and then the "good" memories will come to mind. May he be blessed because he is in a much better place!##imported-begin##Pat Frishett##imported-end##
Oh, Julie. My folks and I are so, so sorry to learn of Bill's death. I haven't seen you since our last meeting up at Meijer's. -- seems that is our best place to chat and catch up on things. Our sincerest sympathy.

Killer always picked me up for breakfast with the boys flashing his wry grin he would say "are you ready Wenky?".
Even when his health was failing we would load my wheelchair in his trunk and make sure I was comforatble.
When I needed help with a project he would show up with his tool box and the same grin and a "what's up Wenky?". If the job was involved he'd bring Pat with him and they would go to work. Each knew what the other was thinking and seldom was a work needed.
Bill burke was a much better friend to me than I was to him. I'll miss you dearly, Killer.

Julie: I am sorry to loose a childhood and young adult friend I grew up with and had much fun fissing, hunting, camping and screwing off. I enjoyed seeing him annually at Ben's farm.
Bill was one of five of us who grew up in the Nim's neighborhood. Sonny Storms, Jim Basset, Ben Loseth, Bill and I all lived within two blooks of one another and we had a fun time in our youth, except for my fishing accident with Bill.
His stories to me at Ben's farm tell me you two had a wonderful life together. And 40 years of work at one place.Wow! I couldn't take more than 15 years at one place during my career.
I wish I could have made it to Muskegon, but I have comfort talking to you this way. My sincere condolences. I loved my friend Killer.
