Messages of Condolence

To you Dear Betty... My family and I are very thankful and blessed to have shared a part of your funny, wild and crazy husband Mr Bill.... He was a friend who always made us smile when we were little, running round the race track. He always had our back when we got into trouble. I cannot believe he has ventured onto a new journey. I was very sad to hear this news. I knew there was a reason that you two lovebirds were there outside the hospital last month. All these years passed too quickly and I still knew a friendly face. Wonderful and blessed to say the least. I wished you two would have been able to shared your anniversary cruise. Sending you my prayers and thoughts for healing of your heart. Your once in a lifetime love will always be watching over you... God Bless you and your family. Char will keep him safe too.. xoxoxo

I had the opportunity to work with Bill on several jobs with the Gas Co-op and he was always upbeat and forthcoming with suggestions. He was often referred to by customers as the "wild looking guy with the white hair". Remember the good times. Gerry Hoar GLDC Gas Co-op.
