We're very sorry to hear about Bill's passing. He was our mail carrier in Rocky Hill for many years. He would always stop and chat whenever he saw me out in the yard working. Please accept our sincere condolences.

Janet, we were so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. Greg and I always got a kick out of chatting to him when we’d walk past your house with the dogs or when he’d stop to say hi when driving by our house. Sending prayers to you.
