I love Grandaddy Bill because he watches rubbish with me.
I hope you have a good time watching rubbish with Alex and Claire and Evan. Have a happy birthday! I wish I could go to your birthday. I wish that you were here right now. If you were here I would want you to squash me like a bug. I wish you could talk to me on the phone right now.
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Biiilllll.
Happy Birthday to you!
I love you!

From David…
Hey Granddaddy! Happy Birthday! I hope its amazing. I hope i could be there to celebrate it with you and eat some of your cake. I’ve been reading through all of these messages and laughing at all the memories that all these people have with you. You are certainly loved and cherished by many many people including myself. I think one of the best memories for me is you taking me out every other week to a movie, or to play putt putt golf, or to dinner. We spent alot of quality time on those nights and i didnt realize it then but they helped me out alot through the years. Your guidance, knowledge, love, and kind words were an amazing blessing. I wish we could still do that. You were such a good father to my momma, especially after the divorce and moving back to Georgia. Times were certainly tough but just being at your house with you and grandmama seemed to make her so happy. I can only hope and wish that some of that rubbed off on me when I’m a father.
Your kindness, love, passion, sense humor and general love of life truely do make a role model and an amazing human being. If I become even half the man you are i will fell blessed. I love you and miss you very much Granddaddy. I hope this day is one you will never forget.love,
David Williamps. CHICKENFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

I love Granddaddy Bill because I laugh with him. I play chase with him.
Dear Granddaddy Bill,

I love you, I love you. We’re a happy family, with a great bit hug and a kiss from me to you. (sung to the tune of the song from Barney).
