Carlene and Carl,
I'm sorry for your loss.
I respected and enjoyed Bill's competitiveness in ball at Ashbrook's and Friday night cards. Bill was also very helpful in me buying tires.

Bill was a pleasure and a joy to care for these past months. He was an amazing man and will be missed by so many. He touched so many lives. His smile and laugh could light up a room for sure. I feel so blessed to have had the pleasure to have met him, care for him, and to have called him and Pam both friends. He was truly a blessing. Fly high with the Angels Bill.
