I had the pleasure of knowing your father as Santa for the many years he would visit Edgewood Elementary (Fruitport) and hand out candy canes to the younger grades. Oh how your mom would worry that he would slip and say something that wasn't "santa" like! The kids loved him and I think he probably loved it more!
I also remember my first day at Edgewood when I learned that the man on Channel 8 news with the gigantic turkey for Thanksgiving was your dad! He had such a fun loving spirit and will be missed by many.
Here's to a good life of love, family, and service!

My brother and I had hours days weeks years of entertainment from Papa Bill and the Three Bears stories. Visiting Uncle Bill’s house during summers—and one surprise snowy Christmas—childhood highlights. I’m glad my kids, Isaac and Sophie, got to have some sleepovers with him, too.
We miss you! <3 Karen
