  1. Uncle Bill you are going to be missed. I always loved my summer vacations in Michigan and getting to come to your beautiful homes. I will never forget what felt like a fairy tale mansion you had on the hill. Those slippery wood floors and all the halls and rooms and I would be lost trying to find my way around. I will never forget the where the pool was that was a trip in my mind. You always amazed me and I was proud to have you as my Uncle. I sad to know your gone but I will always have such fond memories of you. Till we meet again. I love you. Trudy Seppala Hinson
