So very sorry Betty and Herb for the loss of your brother Bill. As a kid, Bill and your dad Mack were always teasing me. But I knew it meant they cared about me!!
Also sending prayers of comfort for Bill´s sons, families and those of his nieces and nephews.
He will definitely be missed by all who knew him. I know I will miss his laughter. He was always happy and laughing.
