James L. Atkins wrote a sympathy message

“I’ve known William for over 50-years. William was a great dad. I remember how very much he loved Jeani & Bill. He always made me chuckle when I saw him wearing his multi-color polyester trousers and matching patient leather shoes (1970’s). I admired his business ethics, farming skills and overall drive - a real competitor. Rest-in-peace. You will be missed. A friend, Jim Atkins, Franklin, Tennessee”
