Pops, POPZILLA, pop pop Bill, a legend, known as many but most importantly known as my grandpop! The best grandpop anybody can ask for. We had a very special relationship, he called me “Bob.” I always watched SpongeBob as a kid, and I have a gap in my front teeth so thats where it came from, Bob! I always loved when he yelled “BOB!” I would yell back “POP!” I was blessed to have had a special connection with him. I know he’ll never leave my side, he never has. We loved watching together WWE, family guy, ghost adventures, & big foot. Im going to miss every thing about him. Pops you were very special to me & I hope you knew that. I hope l’m able to make people laugh like you one day. I’m sure going to miss laughing with you. I think about you all the time & I just wish we had more time together. I wish we had more talks, more laughs, but time ran out so fast. We had great times together & I’m grateful for that. I will never forget, I will cherish them until my end of time. No diet coke, tastycake, fudge pop or chocolate milkshake will ever be the same without you. I love you so much pops. I know as men its hard for us to express how we feel to one another & often its too late before we get the chance to & in this case it is. I wish I got the chance to tell you how much you truly meant to me. I love you forever pops, you were a huge impact on my life & I wish time didn’t run out so fast. I’m just glad you’re at peace now. I know you’ll be with me by my side forever.
Rest in peace Pops
My Legendary Grandpop
Love Age.
Pop & Bob Forever

Bill was so thoughtful and witty. I loved having conversations with him about current events. His take was always on point and always with some added humor! He was definitely an LGBTQ ally and accepted and loved me unconditionally. I remember his excitement when I got the part of Angel in Rent the musical. I will miss him dearly!

My uncles humor brightened my life. It was always a pleasure to be around Bill when we would visit at Grandma's and his sense of humor and talent for bringing laughter to our conversations will be with me forever. May he rest in peace.

Dad, aka ‘D’, you always put me first when I was growing up. I was the light of your eyes and I’ll cherish every memory and lesson you ever taught. Thank you for raising me to be a tough, independent woman. I loved our weekends together, spending most of the time outdoors whether it be playing ball, rollerblading/roller hockey at the Coliseum, hikes to Cooper Rocks, ice skating at the rink, exploring the blizzards in the nineties, going to WVU games, and so many more! Thank you for always playing McDonald’s with me in the basement when all you wanted to do was relax. Thank you for swimming with me at the pool when you just wanted to sunbathe! You have taught me everything I know and love in sports. The experiences and memories you created for me from attending Penguin hockey games, WV football games, trips to Disney World, the Rolling Stones concert, learning to golf, are all things most girls could wish to experience with their father. There were a few questionable things you allowed me to do (i.e. taking me to the South Park movie at 11 yrs old or ice skating on a pond), but we could laugh about it now when we reflected on it! I’ll miss most the laughter we shared together. The funny memes, texts, jokes, all of it. You had an amazing sense of humor and anyone who knew you always shared how funny you were.
Being a parent myself now makes me appreciate even more all of the sacrifices and experiences you created for me growing up. We packed a lot of memories in those years and I hope I have created cherished memories for my own kids, much like you did for me. I don’t think I’ll ever watch another Steelers game without thinking of you. Maybe someday they’ll put together a playoff worthy team! For now, I’ll continue to curse them and hope you pop down from time to time to watch them with me. ❤️
I miss you already and love you always,
Brooke aka Boots

Pops! Chan and I have so many great memories with you. We enjoyed backyard BBQ's with you as we worked on our perfect steaks and our homemade burgers. We tackled hiking with mom at Coopers Rock and gave Chan an incredible first experience as we journeyed through the beautiful landscape that we call almost heaven West Virginia. We burned calories and laughed a ton as we all did our laps around the WVU Coliseum. You taught us how to make a whistle out of whirlers and showed us how to make the best out of our opportunities together. You taught us how to make your famous pasta and because of you, I have to have chocolate ice cream after dinner now.
You and I had tons of great times and hilarious conversations in the Solarium aka the back porch. If those walls could speak, they would just laugh and laugh at the silliness we had going on in there. We can’t forget about your famous alias Frank Palmer! We would send Frankie and mom a care package loaded with goodies. There would be boxes of chocolates, pretzels, cocoa mix and crackers. We would then enjoy them at the same time like we did in the Solarium.
Your stories in the Solarium were so funny and you never held back with how witty you were. You listened to my stories and you were so proud of Fiona when you saw her. It made me so proud when you asked me to keep her out on display at home so you can see her. You showed me how artistic you were with your precision in electrical installations. You were so proud as you showed me your photos of your work and how precise you were. You blew my mind with how perfect your work was. It was like watching the work of Leonardo da Vinci as he created the Sistine Chapel.
We enjoyed baseball with you, Rene and the boys at Krepps Park. We had fun playing your electric guitar and listening to your CDs in the basement. We made jokes and talked a ton about your love for music. You would light up every time you told a story about your life growing up in Morgantown. You loved playing video games with me and we enjoyed your favorite shows before dinner. We grew tomatoes with you in the backyard and we had some epic moments watching the sunset, the rain, the snowfall and especially when the deer and their families would crawl into the bushes right behind the house, tucked to the right of the fence. You loved your home and you loved your entire family with all your heart.
You loved Mom with every ounce of your being and you treated her like your queen. Thank you for that! You would tell me how proud you were of Mom and her green thumb. How she turned a small bedroom into a nursery and how she took her passion for plants and filled the house with them.
You loved us so much even though we weren’t your children. You still saw us as your blood. We have so many great memories with you and we will hold them close to our hearts. It hurts to know you are gone and that we won’t have a chance to do any of these things again but I hope that we can see each other in heaven and pick right up where we left off.
Morgantown will never be the same again without you. Pops, we love you and I know you are having fun in heaven. Cracking jokes and making friends. Telling everyone about your family and how much you love us. With a Diet Coke in one hand and a bowl of chocolate ice cream in the other. I wish you got to meet “Billdred” but our little Nova heard your voice and your laughter while you were here.
I know you are looking down proud. Proud of Mom and your legacy. Proud of Morgantown WV. Proud of your home. Proud of your country roads. We are going to miss you so much each day. We are grateful that we had so much time with you. Life is too short and your last lesson that you taught us was that even though life is short and we could be in the hardest situation, we can still find laughter and love in each moment and to make sure we live life to its fullest. Until next time Pops, we love you and may God watch over you up in heaven.

My earliest memories are of my Uncle Bill. He turned me on to many things I still enjoy today and am passing on to my own kids; video games, ice skating, frisbee, yard golf and inserting a joke in small opportunities to try and get folks to smile or giggle. His passion for life and in creating enjoyment in what's around us no matter the situation will always be part of me and our family.

Most recently I remember laughing so much when I got you a pair of dear socks saying (while holding up the middle finger) “buck cancer “ you then wrote to me saying “Your mom won’t let me have my socks… she says I’m not old enough yet.” Lol I still laugh thinking about it. You always had the funniest things to say.
I’ll miss you always, may you rest in peace. Love always Iri Mae Xoxox

I love you pops and sure will miss you. Thinking of all the fun times we had when I was just a little kid. You would always play with us make us laugh with your techniques and silly jokes. I’ll miss watching 3 stooges with you too and ghost hunters. Those were the times! I wish we could’ve had more together.

Bill will always be remembered as a witty, funny and simple man. I remember the time at Kenny Wood Amusement park when we were laughing at the kids getting off the rides, poking fun at their scared faces. Hiking at Cooper’s Rock, exploring the mountains. You really enjoyed nature. The time you and I nearly froze to death in the snow, we were talking for hours but never wanted to go in the house lol. Guitar Hero days and hearing you sing those familiar rock songs. Ice skating and learning about the WV side of life. I am grateful at the times you helped us and i am relieved that you can rest in peace. You will be missed very much. Love you poppa Bill.

From Bermudez family.
Sis we wish we could’ve been there with you as you honor, remember and celebrate the life of our beloved Bill, a cherished member of our Bermudez family. Bill wasn't just a brother-in-law; he was like a brother to us. His presence at our Christmas gatherings was a tradition we all looked forward to. Bill had a special talent for making moments memorable, especially when it came to Christmas karaoke either on his own or with his grandchildren. But what stands out is his endearing connection with our family. One of those cherished moments was when he learned two simple Spanish words, "Ay Caramba." His use of those words became legendary, bringing laughter to countless occasions. Whether it was the last slice of chocolate cake or the absence of a cold Coke, Bill's timely "Ay Caramba" added a touch of humor to our gatherings. His spirit, love, and impeccable timing will forever be etched in our hearts.
In addition to his love for our family gatherings, let's not forget Bill's passion for the Steelers, even in the midst of our Eagles games. I recall the 2018 Eagles Super Bowl game vividly; there he was, sporting a button-down shirt with a Steelers shirt underneath, true to his team. Despite the rivalry, he brought his football expertise and witty analogies, making those moments even more special.
Today, we honor and remember the joy he brought into our lives. We are immensely grateful and blessed to have had Bill as a beloved part of our family. His presence, humor, and genuine love enriched our lives in countless ways. As we bid farewell, we send a message to Pops, trusting he'll convey our love until we meet again. Bill, you'll always hold a cherished place in our hearts. Until later, brother, we'll forever love you.
