We will miss our friend Bill. We enjoyed our trips for groceries, appointments and just to have coffee. Many a great story was told to us by Bill and we will never forget him. Rest in peace my friend.

Bill (Willie) was our neighbor and we always enjoyed talking with him. We will miss him.

We are sorry we couldn't go to his service as our power was out. Bill would have appreciated the irony of "the hill" losing electric the same time as his service.


With our sympathy,
The Dassance Family
