Bill was a delightful man, friend and neighbor to my sister, Gigi (and our family) for many years. I always felt welcomed when I pulled up to her home and where Bill was usually doing some kind of yard work or just enjoying the outdoors. He was always eager to chat and share stories. His humor and kindness will always be remembered.
My prayers and sympathy to your lovely family. God Bless.
