I miss you already, Uncle Bill. I miss your Facebook messages and texts. You were always so supportive and kind to me and I'll never forget how you always knew just how to make me laugh. I still have a voicemail you sent me on my birthday and you mentioned you hoped we could see each other soon. Man, I wish we could have made that happen. You were loved more than you knew and thought of often. Your jokes will live on, as I'll be sure to repeat them when I want to get one of our loved ones to crack a smile. You are special to me and I wish we could have spent more time together. Sending big hugs to Aunt Gail and Billy. I know you will be watching over all of us. I love you and miss you.

I miss you Dad. You were my hero. A larger than life character who always had a joke at the ready. He was generous and had a great work ethic he was a loving father, husband, son, brother and friend. I thank everyone who has contacted my mother and I with their condolences and fond memories of my father.

Much love, peace & sympathy as you go through this difficult time--

Deepest condolences to the Tate family and friends from Kay Waites and staff at Sound Choice Cremation & Burials.
