From the pen of his sister, Dorisgene:

"(My son) Danny always thought he was Uncle Bill's favorite nephew.One day we were planning a drift fishing outing on Bill's float boatand Danny's job was to fill the cooler with beer. Man, it was hot andfishing wasn't so good, so what do you do? Drink beer! Bill went tothe cooler but all he found was that old popular Billy Beer! Billasked, "Is that all you brought?" Danny was shocked, he thought hehad 'done good!' Wrong! Bill picked up the cooler and threw it inthe lake, then took Danny back to shore and never again trusted him tobring the beer."
He was stricken with a massive heart attack while dining at arestaurant while dining with his wife and family.
