  9. Uncle BIlliam, the man who taught me to whistle, always had a project on the go or off having a snooze in the lazy boy.
    To the hidden empty’s, your famous pinky finger and never ending tingar runs to stock up the front gate, with your trusty hook.
    A true inspiration to never stop doing what you love.
    Rest ready old boy.
    Thanks for always helping Bess ensuring she had a beautiful garden with your special touch.
