We loved Bill as family. He spent many Christmas and Thanksgiving meals with us. Five of our family members worked with Bill at Autohaus of Asheville. We were blessed to have him in our lives. He was a joy. My husband loved him like a brother. We shared many happy days with Bill. We pray that his nieces and nephews will have peace with his passing.
