Still see Bill with a smile on his face, leaving his practice with a patient in the chair to help me get his beloved bull Charlie and co.back into their pasture, 10 min's later he was back at work:O)
As sad as I am that I won't be seeing him here on earth again. I feel very fortunate that I got to meet this optimistic ,wonderful, caring person. I am sure God welcomed you with open arms Bill.
My heart and prayers go out to his family for such a great loss. Knowing Bill he is still watching over you all.
Love George and Cindy Homfeld
