Bill & Family,
Sorry to hear about your loss. I will always remember your kindness in letting my father-in-law, Pastor Bernard Oatman, golf at HCGC. Mr. Oatman enjoyed talking with your dad as he would take a few minutes from riding the mower. Your Mom was also especially nice to him and our family. Our love and prayers are with you.
