Bill was a great next door neighbor! He didn´t even get upset when my car took out his cyclone fencing when the car went over the bank behind our houses! Having him and LaVonne next door was such a comfort to us. I wish we still lived there

Lots of great memories, hunting, dogs and laughs at lunch. Super times in South Dakota hunting pheasants with Bill, Dean Carr and Ken Idol.

Bill was the greatest neighbor! He didn't even make me feel bad when my car rolled over the embankment next door and knocked down his fence. He had an easygoing personality and fun to talk to, easy to smile. We've been away from Omaha almost 30 years but we will miss seeing Bill when we come back to visit.
