Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Bill’s grandson Justin is dear to our heart. On many occasions, Justin has spoken about his grandfather Bill. To hear about Justin’s visits with his grandfather Bill were heartwarming to say the least. Though we did not know Bill personally, we knew what kind of Grandpa he was to Justin and how much their relationship meant to one another. God Bless.
