Bill Clausen Lost his Life Long Home to a Fire

Bill Clausen (Uncle Bill) has lived in the Willard, Utah area most of his life. His family home that he lived in tragically burned down on November 4th, 2019.  His house was fully paid for at the time of the incident and carried no insurance. All his worldly possessions were in the house. Bill cannot work due to health problems and has been living modestly on a small, monthly stipend for several years. 

Bill is well-loved in his community. They have taken him in, found an apartment, and purchased some clothes for his temporary needs. The community does not want to stop there. They have graciously taken on the challenge of rebuilding a modest home and would appreciate any financial help with the demolition and construction material costs.

Article on the fire 

Uncle Bill has always been a generous and giving person but very independent. He does not like to feel as if he is burden to people, and he has never in my memory asked anyone for help but is always willing to help others whenever he can.

We, his family, would like to thank everyone for the support and love they have shown our Uncle Bill. He is loved by all who know him.

A picture of the devastation. The home is considered a complete loss. 

This long time family home was originally owned by Bill's parents. We had a lot of memories growing up there.  

Today we got together as a family and found everything that was salvageable. We found a few treasures that have sentimental value. This was the group with Uncle Bill in the front middle.
