So sorry for the family's loss. I met Bill when he worked at Hydro Conduit. I was a bartender at Last Chance Saloon where a lot of the Hydro workers went after work. I was even at Bill's retirement party from Hydro. He was a wonderful man and was always abke to make me smile even on some of my worst days. I would love to pay my respects but unfortunately will notbe off work in time to attend the services. My condolences and deepest sympathy to all of his family. I will truly miss him. Bill Yoder...R.I.P. my friend.
