Big Bill loved his family unconditionally and that devotion and love extended to his pets Oscar, Lola, Chester [Chetty] and Babe. Big Bill's family would like to sincerely acknowledge your support, friendship and concern. He would be the first to tell you he was truly blessed with so many wonderful friends and extended family to include Bill and Ina Wallrath, Kenneth Kwarta, John and Sheila Ostompowski and all their families. Bill Big had requested that a private service be held for his immediate family, and it was his wish to be laid to rest alongside his wife Pamela. He was always a "no fuss" kind of guy. He would love to be remembered as a loving husband, father, grand and great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. When he turned 90 years old, he said, "I don't know why I am still here, but I'm ready to go home. Keep everything simple and do not cry for a life well lived" You will be remembered, missed and forever loved Big Bill.
