We are deeply saddened to hear about your loss. We are thinking about your family during this time. Although I only had the chance to meet Bill a limited number of times, I am greatful that I had that opportunity. Ron will forever have his memories (both unforgettable and ones that should be forgotten) of the 30 years he has known Bill. Unfortunately, we will be unable to attend the services on Friday, but we will be thinking and praying with your family. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do for your family during this time.
