Today I had to stop myself from telling Brian that he needed to call you.
We miss you so much.
We are so thankful that you are no longer in pain.

I met Bill, when I worked at Britts Ponderosa, when he and Gilbert Villa used to stop by. Bill remained my friend for the next 30yrs. I am deeply sorry to hear he passed and my sincere sympathy to the whole family. He loved to talk about his family and he was so proud of you guys. He will be sadly missed. I loved that guy, super nice person, rest in peace Bill.
