Cross paths with Bill a few times at Purdue, he had a smile that made you think he was up to something or he was ready with joke. He was a nice man.

Kathy you are in my prayers. I didn't realize your mother had passed last year. I was glad I was able to see you both at the SWCD meeting.
Prayers and peace to all Bill's family and friends.

Jackie,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our sympathy to Kathy, also. She would probably know me by my maiden name, Leathermon. My Dad thought a lot of Bill when he was growing up. Hugs and prayers.
