We are so deeply sorry for your loss. While the majority of us never had the opportunity to meet Bill personally, we do feel as if we knew him through his son, Bill, who spoke of him often. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time. We will pray for that time to come when all of your fond memories bring back the smiles and laughter to each of you.
Fondly,
