The only thing that keeps going through my head is this RSD thing but I still have to go through this.

Brokenwings, Bill pulled jokes on everyone he knew. He never ever stopped laughing and joking no matter how sick he got.

I can remember once he called his neice in the next big town and asked her if she would call around and find him a sky hook. She asked him what it was and he told her it was a hook that hung from the sky to pull a motor out of a car. He told her before he came that far he wanted to know who might have one. She called every auto place in town asking for one. Can you imagine what they were thinking when she asked for that? She called him back to tell him no one had it. That girl would fall for anything.

He told one of Susan's friends that the reason the water was coming out of her radiator was because she didn't have enough air in her tires. She went home and told her Dad that. He was a Dr. so I wondered if he knew how stupid that sounded.

When dad was bedridden, he would go into Mom's closet and get one of her coats and a wig and purse and come in the room and talk to dad like a woman. Daddy would just laugh. Bill was the only person that could make Daddy laugh. Daddy was always serious.

He would tie a ball to a string and when Daddy reached for it he would pull it back. That would get Daddy laughing too. Daddy was bedridden for 7 years so that was a feat within itself getting him to laugh.

He would dress up to make Mom laugh too when she got sick.

There were times I would get so mad at him for not being serious. I use to think he never had a serious bone in his body. He'd make a joke about everything.

He pulled jokes on his Mom when she got sick. He would call her up and change his voice and tell her some wild story.

That I will always miss. How he could make anyone laugh.

Susan use to get so mad at him because he would teach the boys to whistle at women or yell things at them when they were only 3 and 4. I use to tell him he was a bad influence on them. They would do it when they were with Susan and Travis too from learning from him and Travis would call over to the house and laugh and say what the heck is Bill teaching our boys?

We never had too much doom and gloom around here with him around that was for sure.

I just wanted to share with you how he was. This part of him puts a smile on my face, losing him kills me.
