There are no words that I can think of that will express the loss Mr. Race's passing has put in our lives. God picks his angels and calls them home when he needs their help in heaven.
I will miss him but find comfort in knowing that I will see him again. God Blesses family and those who knew him.

Well Bill, at long last you are going to get some well deserved rest from your 27 part time jobs. You were a great friend and a great neighbor, for the time that we shared with you and Pat in Little River. We wish you could have stayed with us longer, but I'm betting God has a few chores for you to do. No doubt, you were already at the head of the line, when the new part time jobs were to be handed out. Pat, may God give you comfort in knowing that Bill's passing will be a great loss to all who knew him.

To Pat and the Race family,
My thoughts, prayers, and love are with you at this time. You will always have a special place in my heart because you are two of the kindest people I have ever met. He was a good and special person who believed in helping anyone or any cause. My heart is heavy but I know Bill Race is certainly in a better place busy again as usual. May God comfort you and give you peace at this time.
Sincerely, Wanda Walters
