Our family was saddened to hear of Bill's passing. Bill, Liz and LaTonya lived on Lucky St years ago.Our fondest memories is of him always with a smile, waving to us from his old truck when he passed by our house and just being one of the nicest people we knew. It has been a long time since we have seen all of them, but we do reminise when we gather at our parents home. Liz, LaTonya & Woolfolk Family you all have our deepest condolences and prayers.
