My sincere condolences go out to you during this time of loss. Working with Bill at LFC for a number of years provided me the opportunity of getting to know a good-hearted man that was a joy to be around. He will be truly missed on earth but well received in heaven.

Janet, Billie, Tim,
I am sorry for your loss.
I will never forget deer hunting with Bill years ago when I was in High School.
He like myself, played the harmonica and would talk with me about it at church. I ordered a Lee Oscar High G thru E-bay not long ago after telling him how to save money and dropped it off at the house and had a very nice visit with Bill and Janet. I only wish he had played in church because I thought he played very well and had his own style.
He truly was a very nice and friendly man.

I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. We all grew up at Timberlake Methodist together and he was always so kind and gentle with all of the youth. I know you will miss him greatly.
