William (Bill) Alfred Singbeil has passed away 1946 – 2017

He was Bill, Dad, Grandpaw, Brother, Friend . . . and even known as an acquaintance to many others, as he would often start-up friendly conversations with all kinds of people he would meet in his path. His name was Bill, to me. He was my Dad-In Law and I couldn’t have come across another one like him.  I’m sorry, if this does not come out very clearly in words, but right now I have tears bellowing-up in my eyes and streaming down my cheeks and a huge lump in my throat as if I am trying to speak about this amazing person that has played a big part in my life, as well has left an amazing impression on me.

I remember when I agreed to come meet the family (Cheryl’s Family) in Winnipeg. I only had one picture of her Dad and Mum that she had given me. He looked so powerful and intimidating in that picture. He was the person I had to somehow impress enough to take his daughter away from him, and his Family to go and start a life in Florida (the States). How would I win him over?

The normal guy would have went in with his guns ready, so to speak, for a powerful presentation of who he was and what he had to offer his beautiful Daughter. But, I was not that kind of guy and that is why I was afraid this would ALL fall apart in the early days of my relationship with Cheryl and her Family.

Needless to say, everything went better than expected. The Dad (In Law) I was expecting was a person of my caliper and understanding. I was ultimately blow away that, on my first visit to meet Cheryl’s Mum and Dad, that I felt they had the potential to be my “Stand-in” parents. YES, they were that good! I could not believe that when they said “make yourself at home”, that after getting back home to Florida, I wouldn’t mind going back there again! AND, I looked forward to it Again and Again….

Bill strived to make me a happy part of his Family. I have to believe that he saw the trustworthiness in me (somehow) and brought it to another level between him and myself, and that is what made him my other DAD in my mind. So, even so most people heard me call him Bill, you can rest assure, I consider him my DAD. I told him once, that I can call Barb MUM, because it was different than MOM (which is MY Mom), But Dad….I only have ONE Dad and that is my Uriel James Cecil (My Dad)….so I had to call him Bill. But, you know what? I don’t know what was going through my mind to think that I couldn’t have two DADs at the same time. Because I did. Bill, or Dad….treated me like his Son. He would have done anything for me, as I would, and we have done for each-other.

Dad was a wonderful Man….I can only encourage you to go back and watch the experiences I had with him through the videos I have posted and have in my library within my website timeline.

I can only be comforted in the way my God says, “Life is Eternity” 

Because then, and Only then . . .  by that statement, I will know that I may see him again. May GOD BLESS YOU in your eternity ahead William (Bill) Alfred Singbeil.
