Our family will miss Bill and our prayers go out to the Sheppell family. We shared many Christmas dinners over the years at the Sheppell house and Bill always welcomed us with open arms. I always knew Bill was a special person and I enjoyed our conversations, many political LOL, but at the same time many heart to heart. He will be missed!
