    Prayers and thoughts for all of you. Bill was a wonderful man. I have fond memories of him as our “summertime neighbor” at the lake. I especially remember him laughing and smiling, walking briskly up to the house from parking his car back by the road, and encouraging all of us playing tennis! You were blessed to have him as a husband and father and I’m sure were all a blessing to him.
