Uncle Fergie had a great since of humor to go with a kind heart. He was a giver and often gave to people he didn’t know well, he just saw the need and responded. He loved his family and friends with all his heart. He loved everything about the old west and he really was a modern day cowboy. We all miss him. I know Heaven is even more brighter with Bill Ferguson walking its streets.
Rip Uncle Bill love you
My heart hurts for you. Hold on to memories of the good years and good times. Prayers for all of you in this time. Love you.
