I always loved seeing Y.M. coming. He was such a happy jolly soul & he will be greatly missed. I will keep the family in my prayers.
I worked with Y M for over 25 years on water projects. He was always willing to help any way he could and didn't mind me bringing papers to his house for signature. He was very dedicated to Pfeiffer Water and wanted water service extended to anyone who needed it. He will be greatly missed.
So sorry for your loss. I have your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Prayers for you all!!
Y.M was a wonderful sweet person . He has been a pillar of the Batesville business community for many years. He was a dear friend and will be missed visiting at Hawgs each day. Praying for comfort for your family.
