Bill's journey on this earth was one that embodied the essence of humility. A genuine and down-to-earth individual, he possessed a spirit of modesty that never failed to brighten our days. He was never one to boast or seek recognition; instead, he quietly worked towards his goals and celebrated the achievements of others. Bill's quiet nature often served as a reminder for us all to find joy in the simple pleasures, to be content in the journey rather than solely focusing on the destination.

This poem reminds us that even in the face of darkness, we have the power to be courageous and live life to the fullest, just as Bill did.
"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
