I bought all my gas from Bill all the time I had lived in Crown Point. He was such a nice gentleman and always had a smile for his customers. My sympathy to his family.

Betty,
We are so sorry for your loss. Bill was a fine gentleman and a great friend. Tony is still using the putter that the two of them exchanged with each other.
You are in our daily prayers.
Love to you,
Tony and Janice Radinsky
