PAT, So sorry to read about Bills Passing as i am sitting here just 5 min
from His resting place. Had I known I would have most definitely
been there. Bill was the only person I would ever let landscape
any of the new constructions i needed him for. We did a lot
together which i all ways will remember. Dick Wenberg
