Bill and Jean were our neighbors for many years when they lived 3 houses down the street from us. We were the new ones in the neighborhood, and they always made us feel welcome. Bill always had a smile on his face and was ready to help whenever we needed an extra set of hands in the backyard gardening. He will be missed.
