You have my condolences on the loss of your loved one.

I will always remember our summer trips to Pueblo. Uncle Bill was always making us laugh. He could tell the best stories. He was a great brother and friend to my dad. He would call us every holiday after my dad passed away. My whole family loved him dearly. I am so sorry for the Courney family’s loss of their father, grandfather and husband. Noone can fill the void of his absence.
We will miss you Uncle Bill. I will never forget your laugh! We are left with good memories of holidays and laughs at family picnics before we all “grew up” and moved away. God bless your heart & soul and our prayers are with you and the family.
