Our love and deepest sympathy to all. We are so glad we had a chance to get to meet Bill. He was a quiet and kind man. He gave love to those we love .
Betty and family, sorry for your loss, Billy was a true gentleman and a pleasure to know. I really enjoyed seeing him at the Triangle and having a word or two with him. The deer hunting stories and the gardening conversations were some of my favorites. Billy sure had a green thumb and I will miss those tomatoes! God bless you.
