Mr. Bill will always hold a special place in our hearts. He was always a kind man, always smiling and just a pleasure to be around. I only knew him a short time, but his passing will leave a hole in my heart. His family was like my family and
I hurt for them. May God grant him the eternal reward that he earned here on earth.
