I will always remember Bill's cheerful wave as he passed me on his daily run to the Malvern post office; his kind smile and tall, quiet demeanor; and Bill's warm Christmas Eve welcome to us when we first joined the neighborhood 30 years ago.

Whenever I catch a whiff of cigar smoke on the breeze, I will think of Bill Ashenfelter. He was an old-school, gentle-man.
