Our sympathy is with Kathy and family. Bill was a much loved neighbor. Just in time to talk in heaven with the neighborhood gang (Horace Cashion, Bobbie Bell and Jones Storey) about this years garden. May you rest in peace neighbor.
Kathy this breaks my heart. Just a couple days ago we were talking about you’ll wondering how Bill was doing. I thought so much of Bill. He will always be included in my childhood memories. Such a good person and a good cook. Stephanie and Nathan he bragged on you’ll all the time when I would see him and Jill he didnt think of you as a step child but one of his own. Oh how he loved his dear wife that took such good care of him making him eat right! Rest in peace Bill. Ill miss you!
