Caroline, Nolan and all of the Bell Ford Family.
We are sorry to hear of Bills passing.
Our first purchase 20+ years ago was a truck for Mike and I and a car for our daughter Tonya to go back and forth from college.
We also remember a time when we called after hours as our truck was acting up.
Bill answered and Stayed until we got there and gave us a loaner.
He was a great guy.
