Bill was my biological father but he didn't raise me and I didn't know him until he got back together with my mom so he was more of a stepfather for 28yrs.
"Bill came from a poor family of 10 kids but never realized as a kid they were poor. His Mom took good care of them and loved them dearly. Bill and I were married in 1968 but divorced in 1971. By some miracle we got back together in 1991 and spent next 28 yrs. together until his death in 2019. He loved collecting stamps, depression dishes, rusty antiques, to cook, garden, raise flowers and his job at Gates. He loved his family deeply and in his own way sure he loved me too. Forever missed." Marcia Kage

Gravesite Details
Between drives 6 & 7. He also owns the empty lot beside him so he didn't have any neighbors he said. You have to look close to see David & Dawn added later. He said that Marcia wouldn't let him put them on his stone when he first got it. True??
