I have very fond memories of my Uncle Bill. Him and my Aunt Linda were always so loving, kind, generous & just plain fun to be around! When my brother & I were kids, I remember spending lots of time together with them & my cousins Carrie & Kirk. I loved and looked forward to every time we got together and especially looked forward to our big family gatherings during the holidays! Some of my favorite memories of good times together were when we were in Kamas. We spent time at both my Grandma & Grandpa Gailey’s trailer & at Bills parents cabin that was close by, but regardless of where were, we always had fun & lots of laughs together. Bill was always up for new adventures. I remember him buying a couple red trail bikes that we spent a lot of time exploring the neighborhood on as well as riding all around the Kamas properties. I also remember him getting a jeep & taking us off-road riding which, while was a little scary, was a blast! Then there was the boat. I remember him taking us to Rockport Reservoir to go fishing, it was so windy but Uncle Bill manned the helm quite well. I always felt safe with him & Aunt Linda & we always had so much fun together, yet he was a professional as well & I always looked up to him and his work ethic. He worked so hard but always found time to play hard as well! Uncle Bill expressed interest in what we were up to as we got older and always made us feel like we were special. I love him dearly and will miss his huge infectious smile, his laugh, kind eyes, and big hugs! Rest In Peace Uncle Bill until we meet again😘💕
