My mom, Margaret Mikler, just shared the news of Bill’s passing with me.  I have fond memories of visiting with the Gardon family growing up!  I am very sorry for this tremendous loss to all of you. You have my sincere sympathy and prayers. 

Lauren, Casey & Jacqui, 

Your Dad was a great brother in law.  We called ourselves the outlaws! We had many hilarious conversations at holiday and family parties. He was a calm presence, he was always kind to me and gave great advice. 
My heart aches for your loss.  I hope you continue to feel him around as you go through life. Sometimes the signs are everywhere! God Bless you! Love you!

Lauren, Casey & Jacquelyn, 
Believe me, when I say, as your mom, if there was anyway I could takeaway the grief you are feeling~I would do it in a heartbeat. You can definitely live each day knowing that your dad’s memory is in your heart, that he is watching over you, & know that he loved you more than anything in this world. He was able to see what beautiful, loving, caring, strong, confident, smart adults each of you have become.  I know he would want each of you to go on and do what makes you happy~he will be watching…just look for the dimes and pennies ~1dime+1 penny plus another dime and another penny =22…(Nov 22)❤️😇🤗😘you can talk to him anytime /any place…he’s got you!
 I love each of you with all my heart. Feel my hugs holding you close, so your grief is a little more manageable.
Love 💕

May you always keep his spirit alive and  find peace and comfort in  the amazing memories you have of your dad!! We love you all and are ALWAYS here for you!!

Joe, Therese, Rik, Dave,Tracey, Chris, Lisa, Claire, Sean (& to all your kids as well)…..Bill was way to young to have passed. I am so very sorry you have lost a brother (Uncle).  I have no words to take away/lessen your pain (I wish I did). I know he will be looking down upon each of you, and guiding you through your trivia games, a fun fact about some movie &/or wondering if you will dare have a toast to him with all the Mountain Dew in his fridge! ~Prayers and hugs to you all~

When I think of Bill, I of course think of Tops, Mountain Dew and Jeopardy. He had a vast knowledge of lots of information!! I will always picture him in a crisp dress shirt and tie. He was my kids uncle and my brother inlaw. He was always calm when my 3 kids and his 3 kids were together… they couldn’t “ruffle his feathers”.  When going to Medieval Times he wore that metal crown like a true King and posed for pictures, probably against his will, but he was a trooper! Bill loved Lauren, Casey and Jacquelyn beyond measure. He was proud to be their Dad. We will all miss him!!

One of my memories of Bill was during games of trivial pursuit and other such games that we would play usually during holiday gatherings . He would get the right answer to some off the wall question that nobody had any clue about. It was amazing if he was on your team and frustrating if he wasn’t. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Claire and family - I just heard about Bill from Doug. I am so sorry for your loss. 😞 A big hug from me...

Will never forget the long car ride in which I had to pee ever 5 minutes and Uncle Bill dutifully stopped the car every single time (even though it took forever)! I remember going to Fort McHenry when we were little and just being fascinated by his stories and history lessons (pretty sure of the 5 of us I was the only one listening) and I had such a fun trip! He was probably the smartest person I’ve ever met!! He always had a fact about something and was patient, giving, and kind. I will miss his Facebook posts to tell me how much better he did than me in the Wordle of the day!
