Bill was such a great guy and very kind hearted and just a well rounded guy. I always enjoyed his and Helen's company when they came into our office. I was shocked to hear the news and my heart goes out to his family.

A bigger piece than he knew. Bill was a kind generous man. Whom like the rest of the neighborhood was always there to help. I learned things about his trade whenever he would help my dad and I remodel our home. Without charging us of course. One last thing I would like to say. I never thought of this back then,...
