Lieutenant Colonel William Mitchell "Bill" Ledbetter

Miss Mr. Bill his smile and jokes and his helping pick winners at the races.

Mr. Bill was so much fun and he was always so kind and interesting and boy did he know his horses, he is missed by all who knew him so blessed to have been his friend.

MR. Bill was always so much fun I met him at Oaklawn about 35 years ago I watched him bring his grand children and teach them the love of horse racing and watched as they grew up he was so proud of them. Every one who knew MR Bill loved him in his later years I would make some bets for him and he was so smart and could really pick winners I have a lovely picture of him with our friend Susan and myself on my desk he will always be remembered such a kind man.

Mr. Bill was so full of joy and kindness I met him about 35 yrs ago at the races and we had so many fun times picking horses the last few years where so much fun I was blessed to meet his large family and lovely wife several times and love his grandson Danial it will not be the same without him he will be missed very much, thoughts and prayers for his family.
