I am sorry for the late post but I just learned of Bills passing. I met Bill in the late 60s and worked with him for over 30 years. He loved his garage and the corner stone from the original Pozzo building.Sorry for your loss Eleanore.

Iam very sad to hear of Bill's passing. The Deals wrote me with the news. Bill was a good friend. He even painted my '58 Mack truck for me. My God be with you at this difficult time. Bob Harbrecht Lake Wales, Florida

Dear Pozzo family,

Our memories of Bill and Pat go back so many years. What great times we shared through all of those years. We were sorry to learn of Pat's death while we were away, and now Bill has joined her. Our prayers are with all of you that the good times remembered would be what he would treasure too.
