He is also survived by his brother Robert Phelps and sister-in-law Judy Phelps of Olympia, WA as well as nieces Chrissie Phelps and Marcie Phelps of Volcano, HI. "Recent words used to describe Bill are kind, a good man with a quiet and steady presence, incredibly patient, sweet, and a beautiful soul. He was a man of few words but was always there when anyone needed him for anything. He didn't just have two kids, but numerous others who consider him a second dad. He also has an entire family of ex in-laws who he remained very close with – he was a much loved "brother-in-law that never went away." He was also a very proud grandpa who drove and flew numerous times across the country to spend time with his grandkids. He loved them and treasured this time. He provided positive and warm memories for many. Rest easy, Pops. Fish on." Memorial donations can be made to the Boys & Girls Club of Alaska, 2300 W. 36th Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99517.
