Deeply sadden by the loss of my brother-in-law Bill Dixon. The last time I saw him with his family was in Las Vegas when the family took a trip there. Since I was living in San Diego at the time, my husband Larry and I were asked if we wanted to join them. It was a great opportunity to see the whole family. There are many good memories from that trip and was so happy we could all get together.Bill was an inspiration to me as I was growing up. He helped me with some difficult decisions throughout some traumatic times. I have always looked up to him as a great family man, creating a life of goodness and as a provider. I also liked how he could make a silly joke which would make me laugh. His children were very fortunate to have him as their father. Phyllis Judeika & Larry Johnson
