I am so sorry and sad to learn of Bill’s passing. He was a good friend and my guy pal for as long as I knew him. I was with Zelma and Bill the evening they became engaged. My date and I celebrated with them and they were the happiest couple I had ever seen. I am sending Zelma and Annette my love and prayers and my condolences to all of the family. God be with you.

My mother was nearly deaf and Bill was her hearing aid man. He took great care of her and was one of her favorites. He was a guest at our dinner table several times. She passed in 1995. Mom and Dad considered him a great friend and a wonderful person. I am sorry for your loss.
