Pictures of Bill

Looking back at pictures from June, it's hard to believe that only a few weeks ago Dad was in a hospital bed, hooked up to a system of tubes, barely communicating and re-learning the names of his wife, children and grandchildren...

At the Union Terrace on Lake Mendota. We spent some nice time outside listening to music before the rains fell. We then moved the party inside to the Rathskeller student union for more music and BEER. (Dad had a few sips, along with ice cream, popcorn and nachos!)


HAPPY 65, BILL! You all went beyond Dad's wildest expectations with cards. He was overwhelmed with birthday and wedding wishes and loved EVERY ONE. He spent a long time reading and re-reading each card, making notes on it and saying something nice about each sender. I was hoping for 65 cards and we stopped counting way after 100! (With all the food he's eating, I thought the puffy face was weight-gain, but Linda said it's the steroids.)


Going out for ice cream on Father's Day after we went on a picnic on the lake. Dad had the biggest waffle cone I have ever seen ...


You can't keep this man away from a car show! Turns out our local Quaker Steak n Lube has a car show every Thursday. Dad even entered his suped up Subaru. Looks like we know where we will be every Thursday...


This is the mouth-watering and artistic strawberry-rhubarb pie made by Linda and devoured by Dad.


Hand-in-hand with the girls on our trip to Wisconsin Dells.


Helping Anna improve her swing for Wednesday night baseball games, at which Dad is a loyal fan.


Hanging out on the back deck with a few of his girls.
