Linda & Family,
We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Bill was one of my first soccer coaches and I have some great memories of playing soccer with Dwayne (Beaver). I have lived in Clayton for 20 years and remember giving Dwayne a ride out to Easley Estates and thinking it took forever. Bless you and your family.
