Bill was a spiritual man. I met him when he was facing some important life changes. I watched him on his journey to heal himself and become closer to people. His ability to laugh at himself and with others was a key ingredient in his willingness to change his life's path. He always had a smile and a good word for the people he met. He told many of us that his marriage to Gussie brought real balance and joy to his life. We have been gone from Kentucky for many years, but my memories of Bill are fond ones. He made a difference. I know he would wish us what we all seek -- peace and serenity in our own lives.
We wish the very best to Gussie and Bill's many family members and friends.
