Not sure what to say?

I sure do miss my visits with Bill and Betty! Their faith, their "adventures", their stories were so wonderful to share. Bill was very good at challenging thoughts and ideas... in a good way! I learned so much from him. God bless you all, the family he loved so much.

Bill was a good person he was my boss when I worked there .was always fair.he will surely be missed.
