We are so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Bill and Pilar were our neighbors on Wolfe Grade Road for over thirty years and we could not have asked for nicer people to live next door. Bill was always there to check on our house when we were out of town and/or pick up our mail. A very special friend has left us and we will always remember fondly.
