Rest in Peace Dad,
Bill was my second dad and Brent and I were always together. He ran a tight ship and was a good man. He will be missed.

Bill and Mary were wonderful across-the-street neighbors on Maumee Dr, back in the day. Bill helped us to install kitchen cabinets and we spent a night or two in their tornado shelter. Our condolences to the entire Duley family.
