Barbara, Rick, Ron & family,
I was sorry to hear about Bing's passing. It seems as though your family has been going through some tough times the last few years. Even though I have not seen any of you in many years, my thoughts are with all of you. Growing up I remember Bing coming home in his truck with a load a poles. We could always hear his truck coming down White Oak Drive.

Sorry to hear of Bings passing. I got to know Bing probably 50 yrs. ago when he was hauling poles. After I started driving truck he took me with him to Whitmore to get a load of logs. I always enjoyed being around Bing and I am sure he will be missed by many.
Our thoughts are with all of you.
