  1. Carolyn, Mark, Todd and the family you know how hurt and sorry I am about Bill’s passing. It is Tuesday at 2:28 pm and I wish I was sitting with Bill up at his house, as we visited so many Tuesday afternoons for many years. I looked forward to our visits every week talking and looking at the mountains and the birds and deer. We were always outside. I will miss Bill so much. I cannot express it in words. I loved him like a brother. May God bless you in this very hard time.
