I had the honor of meeting Mr. Dunn from working with Meals On Wheels Plus, Bradenton, FL we shared stories about being in the Navy, would get to hear a joke every now and again from him. Always was a happy go lucky person, loved to see his smiles. He was always so gracious and respectful every time I would deliver to him.
Gonna miss you Bill, thanks for all the great memories, and I know you're resting and sharing memories in Heaven right now.
