Bill, for twenty years we have been neighbors, watched each others families grow, shouted "Hello!" or waved, heard each others kids banging on the door and all the other things that neighbors do. You passed way too soon and because of that you will be missed even more by family and friends. Go with God Bill and know that we will comfort those you left behind. Dave,Bonnie and Adam
