Bill was a sweet and thoughtful man. He did my husband’s business taxes and after my husband passed, Bill gave me words of encouragement and told me how much my husband loved me which I gratefully appreciated hearing. Our loss is heaven’s gain. I pray for peace and comfort for Beverly and his family at this terrible time.
