Memories
From April Metz De …
it was such an honor to know and care for Mr. Bill, the last few months of his life. I’m so glad my kids got to know him as Ezra’s grandpa and he was always such a happy and gentle human.
From Ray Wilkett
I enjoyed knowing Bill and Mary Kaye. Bill was a good friend to all. And a good co-worker as we worked together at Intalco. I'm sorry for his family's loss.
From Peggy
Glad you could all have him so close these last few months. So sorry for your loss.
