Bill, John Stevenson and I were best friends growing up. For many years, whenever I came to Lodi, we would stop to see what fresh vegies we could buy! Bill will be sorely missed!

My deepest sympathy to your family. I work at Central Wisconsin Center and Bill would come thru and do his rounds. Always very, very friendly. Nice to everybody. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
