Mr Jenkins was our neighbor for many years. He was the best neighbor I have ever had. A really good man. Our condolences to the family. I’m sure going to miss my friend and neighbor Bill Jenkins. He always told me to call him Bill, but I respected him so much he was always Mr. Jenkins to me.
Jack and I bought our first camper from Bill and that started years of fun camping with Ray,Pat, Ricky and David.! Bill gave USA shabby – chic kitchen which is in use at alake-house on Lake Hartwell. Kind Bill and sweet Betty…So sorry for your loss.
