I and many others here at our Woodmark AL will miss Bill for his friendliness greetings. I feel " a dear soldier has gone home"! I will miss Bill's wave and wink in our dining room. May our Heavenly Father give comfort and strength to all of Bill's family in all the days to come. Love and prayer, Dorothy Rogers, ABQ., NM
