Bill was an expert at fitting and fixing glasses. He guided us and our daughter with special needs for the last decade. We didn´t see him much, but he was always sincere, in good cheer and ready to help. We will miss him and his expertise. We will keep our memories of him as a blessing.

I only spoke with Bill a couple times a year during tax season but I knew him for 14 years. Always a happy, up beat, genuinely good guy that enjoyed helping people. Loved showing me pictures of his kids and wife and telling me about their adventures and how they are growing.
