Jennie,

The ladies at the Pulaski office called me today to tell me that Bill passed away. I am very sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed visiting with Bill when he would stop by the office. He was always happy and laughing. I will remember him fondly and keep your family in my thoughts.

Sincerely,
Adam Grindstaff

I'm very sorry for your loss.
Bill was a very kind and thoughtful man. The first time I met him he took me to a taxidermist he knew, and showed me his little garden in the back yard. He was kind enough to give me some 100yr. old cherry wood that he'd been saving to go around my 1st bear mount.
Just wanted you to know your family is in our prayers.
