“Bill was so kind and soft spoken. I knew him for 18 years. It was always nice when he would stop by our house in the summer and have a glass of ice tea and just shoot the shit about anything at all. He was a very gracious person to me and my wife. Thank you Bill for being our friend. We will truly miss you. Blake & Sandi”
