Gramps, I could never have dreamt of a better grandfather in my life. I can still vividly remember getting raspberries on my cheeks, chewing crushed ice mixed with Bosco in the Bobby glass, golfing into an umbrella @ the park off South Beverwyck Road, spending a week every summer @ the Moby Dick and driving around in Cruller and the list goes on. I’m blessed to have had the opportunity to grow up with such an incredible man. You bestowed adventure to your grandchildren; something kids desperately need. You breathed life into us and loved us unconditionally. While we will undoubtedly miss you, we rejoice that you are no longer suffering and that you have moved on to be with our Father in Heaven. Jesse, Jane & Piper Washkau

I knew Bill for many years when he and I worked at Hoffmann La Roche. We corresponded when electrical installations were required. Bill would call me for new items to be discussed daily. I'll remember his voice clearly as though it was yesterday. "Hello A this is B" and we would laugh. Rest in peace, my good friend.

Mr. Washkau's son Billy and his family lived next door to my family for many years. Through out the years I got to know Bill and Evelyn fairly well. The longer I knew them the more I noticed what wonderful and warm people they were. In fact,together they were my favorite couple, and I used to tell Billy how great they must be as parents. Bill always had a smile on his face and a strong hug for me whenever I saw him. I know he will be greatly missed by many,as well as me. Rest in peace Bill.
