Patty, Billy, Robert, Sandy and family: I was sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. I just heard about it today about 1:30 pm, so I was unable to make it to the service; however, I did livestream the service. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen any of you, but I still remember everyone. So many of the “phone” people have passed away that “your Bill” and “my Bill” worked with. Lots of memories — cherish all your good times and memories!
There will never be another like you. Thanks for all the laughs and the wise words.
