My grandpa worked hard to provide us with elaborate Christmases during which we were allowed to select gifts from the Sears Roebuck Christmas Wish Book catalogs. We never failed to receive what we asked for. He also invested a lot of time taking us grandkids for walks to feed the ducks, trips to the park, and to the candy store where he would give us a fist full of change to buy penny candy with. He would also invent fun games, like putt putt golf, for my cousins, brother, and I to play; and, he would reward the winner with a prize that he salvaged from the Garbage and cleaned up for us. When we got on grandpa's last nerve grandma would take us to the kitchen to watch Wheel of Fortune with her on the television set above the refrigerator. She would pour my brother and I a generous portion of Bugals corn snacks on paper towels while we watched her favorite game show.

On approximately February 15th of 2022, I had a very vivid dream around 10:40 that night. I saw my grandpa walking toward a staircase in a bright white room. I ran to catch up with him and told him, "Grandpa! I love you." He turned around and embraced me in a hug. This was out of character for grandpa as he was typically a pat on the back type of hugger. After our embrace, he turned away from me and started walking up the stairs. I intuitively knew that I wasn't allowed to follow him. I had the gut feeling that I needed to call my mom and tell her about the dream that I had about her father, but I was working as a charge nurse at the time with a very hectic schedule. I let myself get distracted with work and never made that call to my mom.

Two days later on the 17th I got a call from my brother notifying me that mom informed him of grandpa's passing. I called my mom to check on her, and she was very distraught. My mom told me that every person has 2 important dates in their lives: they day they are born and the day that they die. She stated that her dad only had one date as they were unable to determine the time of his passing. I told her that I knew the exact date of his death because he came to me in a dream to tell me goodbye.

Uncle Bill, you were always so kind. I remember a time or two visiting you and Aunt Aline that you let our kids pick our some “treasures” you had found while working on the garbage truck. Very special. You took such good care of Aunt Aline, and she was always happy to tell others how good you were to her. We love and miss you. J and Wanise Lemmons

Dad it's been a month today that you left this world. I sit here remembering all the memories you left of yourself, knowing they will live in my heart as long as I do. The greatest gift you ever gave to me, was eternal life with God. You made sure we knew about, God and his free gift of salvation through Jesus. Dad, the first Bible verse I ever learned was " Greater love hath no man, than this, to lay down his life for his friend." Dad you fit that verse, I am proud to have been your daughter.

I remember when My mom married Bill and could wait for him to come home from work, he worked for the city of Tacoma Refuse department as what they call back then a Garbage man, when can threw the back door carrying a bag we knew he had found something good that someone had thrown away, we could wait for him to open the trinkets that he had found, after cleaning out their apartment it brought back so many memories because most of those trinkets he still had, Thank you Dad for taking such great care for mom, I love you and will always miss are times together

These pictures are from July 8, 2016 on one of our summer visits to see Uncle Bill and Aunt Aline. We were able to celebrate Aunt Aline’s bday with them at home and then at their favorite local Chinese restaurant (where they took us every time we visited).
There was so much love between the two of them and they were obvious soulmates.
Uncle Bill, we love you and wish we’d been able to see you these past two summers but Covid had other plans. Spending time with you was extra special since we could see the family resemblance in mannerisms, voice, and expressions as my dad (your brother).
Much love and many hugs,
Your sister-in-law Dolores and nieces Elizabeth and Eliza

I will always be grateful to Uncle Bill for his care of Aunt Aline. The last time I spoke with him on the phone he said he was doing alright and was grateful he could take care of her. He said she was a gift from God to him and he hoped he would be able to take of her at home until the end. That was not to be, but he was faithful while he was here. ❤️
He was also very good to my parents, Arnold and Mavis. When mom had dementia and they would visit Bill and Aline he was very good to take her on walks around the yard and talk with her. After her passing, Dad lived close to them until he had to go to a facility. Bill was a very good friend to him. He would take him places at times and always welcomed him to their home to have a meal and watch the Mariner games. God bless you Uncle Bill and I look forward to seeing you again in the Great Hereafter ❤️🙏🏻
