Bill and I first met when he came into my auto parts store in canton ga. He was such a neat guy and very professional as well as knowledgeable about business and his hobby, automobiles. I had to have him as part of our team. He would help us become to best of the best along with others he would help and encourage. Bill became concerned for my health after I was in an auto accident, and I never could seem to get back to my old self. He saved my life for making me take action after several scares at work with my dizziness and heart attack symptoms. What a great friend. He was someone I loved and looked up too. I only learned of his passing today, as I grew apart from Bill and our crew after changing careers for the sake of my on health. I loved him. I will miss him more now than ever. To all of the family I wish to express my heart felt condolences and tell you each one that Bill Cummings was one of the finest people I've ever known in my life. Godspeed Bill. I'll miss you my friend. Keith and Gayla Stepp
