Dear Wittings, Regrettably we will be unable to attend the funeral but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. I never really knew Bill until he visited Iowa when Grandma Duffy passed away. We dragged him to an Iowa State football game that weekend, for which he probably never forgave us! In all seriousness, I really enjoyed sitting with Bill at the game and just getting to know him. We had a great time that day and I will never forget it. God bless you all. Love, Joel, Krista, Cailin and Rachel Duffy

I remember Bill granting us a loan to purchase a house we bough at 619 Krohn in Boonville back in the year I think of 1972.
