Our heart-felt condolences and prayers go out to the whole Becker family. Even though it was 40 years or more ago, I still remember many times as a kid going over to visit with Ed, having some of Alice's homemade cake and being regaled with Bill's stories from work or characters that he knew, or how he had just finished fixing or repairing something - it seemed like he could make or fix just about anything! Bill and Alice always made me feel like part of the family, and for that I have many warm memories and will always be grateful. Rest in peace, Bill.

Over the course of the week, I was remembering all the great times I had with Uncle Bill. Taking me and Mike hiking, canoeing, helping me with my derby car for Boy Scouts, taking me to the movies. He was a great uncle but more importantly he was a great person. Kind and loving and always had a smile. I was lucky to have him in my life and he will always be with me in my heart. RIP Uncle Bill

Our deepest condolences on Bill's passing.
Bill was part of my growing up years as my best friend's father and then Christa and I had the privilege of having Bill and Alice as our wonderful neighbors for years.
We loved seeing the pictures posted of Bill and the family.
