Prayers for Bill and for your family. We just saw it in the paper so we can’t make it to the services on time. John is so saddened to hear about his Boss and friend. He will always remember Bill as a champion of the underdog.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. I enjoyed working with Bill during our time as crossing guards. He was a good man.
