Uncle Bill turned 100 years old today, January 3rd, 2009. Always the dapper gentleman, Uncle Bill was in wonderful spirits today. There was a party for him at the Care Center where he lives. His friend played 'Happy Birthday' on his harmonica and we all sang along. I asked him what he thought about being one hundred and he said, "It is a funny life."
When I was growing up, Uncle Bill had already lived through many adventures and was retiring from the feed business. He and Aunt Mildred lived just a few short blocks from us and cousin Liz and I would often go and 'visit'. I remember the big wooden airplane propeller that stood behind the front door. A reminder of Bill's flying days, and sparks for a child's imagination. It was always a wonderful place to visit. Uncle Bill is right, life is funny. Happy Birthday, Uncle Bill! Thanks for being an unforgettable character in our lives!
