Betty and family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I always thought Bill was a wonderful man. He was always so nice to all of us at the SNF in Geneseo when we worked with Betty. I hope he is now at peace. God Bless you all.

So sorry to hear about your loss! I remember Bill when he ran the gas station in Dansville. We often went there when we visited our grandma- Myrtle Rodgers. He was a great guy!
