My prayers of comfort to Bills family. Such a nice man! I have a letter I recd from he and Bette awhile back. I have much admiration for my last male cousin. RIP Bill. My daddy Eddie Harriman and your dad were brothers.
A good man was called home to join his family. The good ones always come home near Christmas. He was a good one. Our family will miss his smile and his stoic heart. He was a giant of a man with a heart to match . We were blessed to have known such a gentle giant. At last he is back with his sweetheart and his boys!
I will miss my Uncle Bill more than I can explain. He was one of my Mom’s younger brothers and was admired and loved by us all. We didn’t get to visit with him as often as we would have liked but when we did it was a real celebration. We would also like to thank Debbie his niece in Kamloops who looked after him and helped him so much the last few years of his life. RIP Love. Robin
