We will sure miss ‘Wild Bill from Asheville’ as he always signed our Christmas Cards! Uncle Bill was a one of a kind. We always felt his love for us even across the miles. Sympathy for his siblings and their families as well as his friend Jane.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kaufman families right now, especially our neighbors Robert and David Kaufman and their families.
