My earliest memory of Bill is at 14 when he visited our mother (he lived in digs whilst attending college) a year later he moved into the family home continuing his studies at night school. Almost immediately began bossing me around (what on earth did he think gave him the right!)
My only recollection at 3 years old our father had gone away (passed) our mother soon after (hospital) and soon after that both Bill and John (brother) also disappeared.
Now twelve years later he pops up telling me what to do. I was having none of it.
Bill even at this early age studying with the determination that he would make sure his future would not mirror our past.
In his 25th year Bill returned from visiting a friend in Norway to inform us that he had not only met someone (Inger)but was returning to marry her that same year, he also told us that she had a beautiful 9 month old daughter Sissel (Marie) that when married he would be ADOPTING ago bring her up as his own daughter.
Three years later Mark was born followed by Peter six years later all the while still studying and working forward and upward to ensure a safe and better life for his wife and their THREE children also later grandchildren.
WHICH IN MY OPINION HE MORE THAN ACHIEVED HIS GOAL
WELL DONE BROTHER
REST IN PEACE
