Dear Ginny & family,

Both my wife Ann and I worked with Bill at the Home Depot and are proud to call Bill a friend. We are so very sorry about Bill's passing.

Bill was one of the rare breed who always had a smile on his face and was always ready to help others. Bill was an outstanding mechanic and I would often bounce questions off him to make
sure I was giving customers valid information about the tools they were thinking of buying.

I would see Bill periodically and call him during his recent medical challenges and Ann would always seek him out whenever he was in the store so that she could speak with him. We both miss
Bill and his big smile.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
