Wow, sad to learn of Bills passing. I decided today I needed to find him some how and thank him for all he did for me during my teen years. My dad and mom were friends with Bill during yellow cab days. My father, Toby was killed in a car accident. Bill was driving the ambulance that went to get him. Ultimately he married Bee ( my moms sister) my mom never remarried while I was home. When I was 13 Bill started showing me how to work on cars, woodworking and more, about God and what a man...

I was so very sorry to read of Bill's passing. I first met Bill when he worked for Yellow Cab and bowled for the Yellow Cab team at Eureka Bowl (I was their scorekeeper). Later I would run into him when he worked for Brink's as well. He was great guy with a wonderful personality, sense of humor and smile. I have thought of him often through the years, wondering where he was and what happened to you both. I know Bill left you with a lot of wonderful memories to cherish, especially during this...
