I have known Bill for quite a few years as a customer at Farm and Fleet, later at Ace Hardware. Later I started working at Ace Hardware, and Bill gave me a ton of great advice, showing me how to do things around the store. I´ve missed working with him, and have tried to pass on his advice to newer employees.
Thanks Bill for everything.
