    We are very sorry to learn of the passing of our friend and former neighbor. Bill was always an outgoing friendly person who was always willing to help those in need.

    We lost touch after he moved to Kearny, MO, but always remembered him and his family with fondest regards.

    We wish to express our sincere condolences to his family.

    May he rest in peace.

    Joe and Carol
