To the Family of Bill Kratz.. I am so sorry for your lose. Although I never met face to face with Bill I did his engineering for the past 4 years.. I truly enjoyed the professional relationship we had. Bill was always ready with an answer. He always had a solution to any problem. He made my job easy. He will be missed.

My Dear BK,
There was not a single time that went by, that when you walked into Neptunes, you put a smile on my face. I remember how your dry sense of humour, complimented mine. Dry also! Although I had not seen you in awhile, I would think of you sometimes, and smile all over again. May you be with OUR sweet Lord now.....in His grace.
