Bill always had a funny story to tell!
He also was great at giving advice!
I will miss our lunches and discussion of
local, national, and world politics. The
lord has a new person willing to share help
in anyway he is needed. Sympathy to Wanda and the extended family! r rust

Bill was a great friend and I had many great memories with him. Very thoughtful and would occasionally let me win at golf. A great man.
