I really liked Bill. He was so nice and pleasant each time I saw him in yrs. passing. Last I saw him was at his car wash when I was getting my new car washed and he kiddingly introduced me as his other wife to his lady employee. I used to be the other Mrs. Bill Dodgion, his cousin William (Bill Edward Dodgion) is his first cousin. I remember that at one time he and my then husband by the same name were the hospital at the same and my husband almost got his blood work done instead of the other Bill. Things were straightened out. I just want to express my sympathy to you, Betty and to your family. God bless you and your family at this time of sorrow.
