Not sure what to say?

Mr. Fortson was my school counselor my Freshman and sophomore years. He was a nice guy and was always available to discuss issues with students.

We will forever love and miss our Grandpa Bill. He had a heart of gold, awe-inspiring inner strength, and great sense of humor. We are blessed to have had him in our lives. Peter & Laura, Frankie, Dalton & Grayson Suda
