Bill Guinn was such a gentle, caring, and interesting man. Respect for him came quickly. He always had good stories to tell about life experiences, and had a unique and interesting way to tell them. We'll surely miss him. It was pleasue to have known him. Doug & Mary Ann Clark of Ellicott City, Maryland
