Rest In Peace Bill.
Bill and Joy Bucco built their home in a field in rural canton/Glasford. That field was once my grandfather,Ray W Hinderliters, farm. RWH was a pilot and he had a registered airport in that field. At age 4 Grandpa took my mother and I up in his airplane taking off and landing where Bill and Joy built their home. Years later while working for UPS i delivered Bills packages to their home. Great memories! My deepest sympathy to the Bucco family.
