Oh where to start. First met Bill about 1976 through my parents and him on the cb radio... I remember when Bill first came back from Colorado in his old pick up truck with bull horns on the front..I thought that was the silliest thing I had ever seen... right then and there my mom "adopted" Bill and let him move in since he had no place to stay.. and a big brother was born...so many years, so many stories, so many memories.. and so many shenanigans to remember...one thing for certain he came to the rescue of any family or friend when asked ... no matter if it was near or far.. drive 10 mins or 10 hours.. he was always there....then there are the motorcyle rides, fishing trips , square dancing, bowling, and some not to be mentioned (before he was baptized and reborn) ...I am so happy Bill found the LORD and formed a new bond with God. Bill each time I see you all time just melts away. I am reminded of all the laughter and joy we have shared through the years. I am so grateful for those times and for having met you. Our lives were brought together for a reason/ for a season. Through the pain and sorrow and happiness and joy, we have learned much. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, strength and hope with me and the world. Thank you for the humor we could always count on and for reminding us that the bonds we form are everlasting. Love, hugs and prayers for Debbie, Steph and Nicole... I know Bill is looking down on us right, praying we are not too sad and not too many tears.. he is at peace now ... love you big brother .. rest easy big little guy. Robin Merriman

I remember many a weekend growing up, fighting for the remote. Sitting through all the John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and then the Kung Fu Theatre, watching Jet Li and Jackie Chan before they were famous. Often going for rides on the back of your motorcycle or cruising along in your Fiat Spider (when it wasn't in the shop). I also remember going through your record collection making "mixed" tapes. I still have all 7 of them. I am missing you Duck Man.

My dad was an amazing man. My heart hurts knowing I can not call him anymore, but I rejoice because he's with Jesus now. He often talked about fishing and many other hobbies. He also talked about all the shenanigans he used to get into. I miss you so much daddy and I only hope you didn't leave this Earth without knowing how much you were loved. This is just goodbye for now dad. We will see you again some day.
