I came in from work

I came in from work on the morning bill died to find lauren and steph crying and it was hard to take in the bad news,i can't imagine how hard it must be for his family and close friends,getting over the loss of such a charachter and family man as bill undoubtedly was.I only knew bill over a period of 4yrs, as i live with his grandaughter lauren and her mum stephanie.But we got on great, he would immediately side up to me for the male bonding and the ribbing of lauren and her teen attitude,welcoming me with "Alright baldy" as only bill could ,probably on our first meeting ha ha.We shared a slightly devilish sense of humour and i loved his laugh.I never knew bill well enough to know what he had done in his life,but from the comments and sheer respect and love from around the globe it became ! obvious to me he was a special guy.He never bragged about things he had achieved or his fantastic artwork,he was more concerned about the next man.He will be sadly missed in this house,i can only express my sympathy to his family,i'm sorry i couldn't be at his funeral maggie very sorry

love steve xx

We will miss you bill....
