Bill and Margaret were near and dear to our family and we share in your sadness. If we can do anything to help please let me know. Jessica and I had so many fun times with your dad at the store and shared in a lot of laughter with him. We will cherish those memories.

We are very sorry for your loss. I’m sure you will miss Bill. I know I will…
Bill was like a second father to me, particularly from 1989 through 2001 when we worked together at All Aluminum Company. There was never a dull moment working with Bill We had many, many good times together. He was a character for sure! God bless you, Billy!
