Mike, Rick, Tom, Sue & families;
My prayers are with you. Remembering the times our families spent together as we were growing up. I will always picture your dad with his cigar, leaving church when the fire alarm sounded, running around at the "homecoming" when there was an electrical issue. Bill just being Bill.
He will be greatly missed. Take comfort in the knowledge, he is reunited with June & Ken.

To all of the Chartons,
All my best goes out to each and every one of you for the loss of Bill. I was one of the fortunate ones ( As you all know :) ) that got to spend over 10 years on the department with Bill and boy o boy those were the best of times. Bill gave his heart and soul to the community of Richville and guys like him do not exist anymore. Its been an honor to have known Bill ! RIP my friend !
