Happy birthday, Bill.
The world really is continuing without you. It's strange to see those places we used to go; some look the same, but something about its changed, others are gone without a trace of their existence. It doesn't feel the same.
When i think of the memories you left me, i feel as if i took your presence for granted, even though i cherish them, it just seemed like you'd always be here.
You are truly missed everyday.

I just now saw this , I'm saddened to learn of his passing. I worked with him at Gordmans department store in Fairview Heights Illinois. He was a great boss. He gave us Kay and I and the team the freedom to do our job and keep the freight flowing. Rest in peace Bill.
