Bill was a blessing to our family. He was a good friend to my mom, as they talked and texted regularly. My kids took to "Mr. Billy" right away because he brought them gifts, and he did so regularly when he visited Tennessee. They even got to enjoy Taco Bell with him once. He would often text me links to show mom, or just things he knew we would enjoy such as information about Harriman and Dixie Lee. I'm so sorry for your loss - he will be greatly missed.
