Bill was a good man. At the bank he was most always with the customers and friends while at work. One time i needed a small loan and he approved that on my signature only. Those were days a persons reputation meant something. Trust! He also was in a war zone , came home an had a good life, I was there a short time later but no hero. He will be remembered by all who him by his reputation.
