It was with much sorrow that we learned of Bill’s passing but also not without much joy in remembering happier times. Having moved to Boalsburg in the early 1980’s Mary took her infant & toddler children for a trip to visit Shaver’s Creek where she first encountered Bill. They got to talking about all manner of things (which she later learned was Bill’s way) but primarily of his joy of his family, Deb, Abigail and Nathan. So surprised were we to learn that he was the Son-in-law of our next-door neighbor. Although we would be sure to have met him many times as he participated in so many Boalsburg activities. A truly learned man with so many and varied skills from climbing our tree and sawing its branches for us to whittling, blacksmithing, storytelling and making/playing wooden whistles for the children. He was a good friend, husband and father whose life touched so many around him with his good will, helpfulness and ever-present cheer.
We send our deepest condolences to Deb, Abigail, Nathan, Erica, Tyler and Jacob.
Sincerely, Mary & John Nousek
