      Uncle Bill was a sweetheart, loved by many and will be sadly missed. He always had a good story or two to tell that would peak anyone’s interest.
      He gave big hugs with a mischievous laugh and a twinkle in his eye.
      Til we meet again sweetheart, rest peacefully. ❤

    Freeman and all the Wiseman family…..my condolences on the loss of your father…….I remember him as a quiet man with a hearty laugh. We’d usually have a chat when he came by to pick up his taxidermy supplies and he’d tell me what he was working on at the time. It was a hobby he seemed to love.
