    I would like to express my sincerest condolences to the Carol and the other members of Bill’s family. Although bill and I have not had an active relationship for quite awhile now I still remember him as one of my best friends. Bill was always helpful and kind. I really will miss him for being my go to guy on our old Ford problems. God’s speed
    Bill and I’ll see you later.
