Not sure what to say?

I boarded my horse Turbo Tim (Timmy) at Bills place for a while - and he was such a character with interesting stories about his life. He hauled my horse a few times and I even rode along with him one time. He liked to come out and just sit on that bench and chit chat and had opinions on just about everything - he didn*t miss a thing. If you ever met Bill, you will never forget him. Rest in Peace Bill.

I boarded by Bill and he helped me haul my horses several times. He was a good guy and so funny. I wish I had gotten to see him one more time. We moved up north and haven't seen him in awhile. RIP Bill

We used to ride the open and speed shows at Roeders many years ago. It was always a fun time.
He hauled our horses to many trail rides. Bill made a wrong turn, to a ride in Illinois and we ended up turning around in the entrance of a subdivision, he trimmed the hedge with his big rig, we turned around and it was still standing, just a little shorter, and we still laugh about it to this day.
Rest in peace Bill.

I met Bill years ago as he began hauling horses to and from our vet clinic in Oconomowoc. Really enjoyed his good nature and stories about horses. He also always had some comments about the highway traffic and drivers. Makes sense now that I see he drove a bus for many years. Our staff here will Really miss Bill and his blue striped coveralls. He was always a bright spot in the day. Always made the effort to come by the repro office and say hello.
