Our entire family will miss Bill Parker, affectionally called Mr. Bill by our sons. John worked with Mr. Bill at BFI for over ten years. We attended the same church for numerous years and shared many holidays and other events. The greatest gift Mr Bill gave us was love, devotion, honesty and integrity. He will be greatly missed by the Love family. Rest in Peace Mr. Bill♥
