Ed and I send our deepest sympathy to the Cossey family. I had the opportunity to talk with Bill several times when I filled propane cylinders for him in years past. Ed always speaks fondly of Bill and would often say, “I got along just fine with Bill. He was a good guy.” Our hearts and prayers go out to you all during this time of loss.
