Random cousin shots, from the Needles weekend.

First  a couple of games of sneak.

then another card game with a different set of rules. I never did figure them out. But the kids loved it.

It was a beautiful weekend, look at the blue skies. I t was wonderful to see everyone share the celebration of Bills life and support the Hartwick family.
I know there are more photos, these were all from Sheila Marie's camera. So keep on watching.

 Uncle Jim stopped by the new offices to say good by on his way to the airport.

New member of the family

"Only been a month and I already have a new man at my

 house! This is Tye, my new reason to get up and be happy.

 Thanks to all my brothers and brothers in law for setting up

 the corral for me. They even used the torch and no one got

 hurt. I love being able to look out my window and see such 

a handsome fellow. Thanks Kippy Poulson, I'll take good care

 of him, I promise."


Here are the shots of the corral getting set up:

Memories

This is from Bill's niece:

Whenever I think of my Uncle Bill I instantly smile. He was always first to hug and greet me with lots of love and happiness. Always inquisitive of the goings on in my life and the lives of my children. He was a very generous person with his love, goods, advice, & laughs. He was a fabulous host whenever we got to visit him. Having fun on the boat at the river will forever be fond memories for me. His attitude on life and optimistic approach towards all things he worked on were contagious. Such an intelligent and informed man, you could talk about anything with him.  A cute memory I have of him is, he would offer the little nieces of the family to brush their hair for them since he had no girls to do this for I always will remember this tenderness in him. I like many will miss him so much and love him forever. Super proud of his wife and sons for the strength they have shown thru this tragedy. With God on your side no one can be against you. May He Bless all who cared for and loved My Uncle Bill. Love, Biddie

Another one from his brother in law Ken:
So as the day winds down I pay tribute to a man loved by his family, friends and community. Over 700 people at the service today to pay their respects to William Hartwick. He will be missed but never forgotten. He lives on through his wonderful boys, Rolland, Kenton and Nolan who I am sure will all make him proud!
God bless you Billy for the times and memories we have of you.

It was a beautiful day, brother, Tom Hoban did a wonderful job on a eulogy of Bill's life. KD took all Eileen's planning put together a beautiful program and memory card.
We do have photos to share, just need to get them downloaded to share.
