Dear Starr, Rhonda & all of Bill's family, The loss of a parent, no matter what our age, is a giant mile stone in life. The words escape me to express the heaviness in my heart of hearing of Uncle Bill's death. Hopefully you hearts will be filled with wonderfully fond memories of your experiences with Bill, a father, grandfather, a spouse, uncle and friend. Sincerely, David Stumpff
