Bill’s Story

Site created on December 4, 2019

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place.
Husband,Dad, brother, uncle, cousin, friend. So,so many roles in his life. But for this he is Dad. He began a journey a couple years ago with surgery for a spot on his head. That spot was melanoma that had other plans than to be completely removed. What followed was small cell bladder tumor treatment with chemo and radiation. At the end of that, a discovery of a spot on his liver. With lots of conversation with Mom they have decided to live each day and feel the best he can until there are no more sunrises.

Throughout this journey Dad has ALWAYS maintained an incredibly positive outlook, and this part of his journey is no exception. He said he feels good today, and plans to walk and talk with mom, visit with family , laugh a lot, and love on all those that he loves and love him.

We will put updates here so leave a message, call his cell or just stop to say hi as often as you can.

Today....you will find mom and dad cruising the mall and enjoying the holiday season. Both are smiling and you might even catch them holding hands.
