Steve & Stan, so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was always so good to me when I was renting next door. He was funny, helpful, kind and thoughtful. I stopped each year to see him during the Grabill fair. I will surely miss that visit this year. My prayers are with you and your families.

Sorry for your loss. I have great memories of Bill. The best was white water rafting when he had to take out his hearing aids. We had to tap him so he knew when to paddle.
