Many happy memories of Uncle Bill, (and Bob) as they, being youngest, often entertained the grandchildren when the family got together. I remember Mamaw telling me about the antics and how the twins had certain sweatshirts they called mullmozers when they were little. They loved bulldozers. Love to all the family

For Bob and family,
I was so very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing on Thursday. Even though we had lost touch somewhat these last few years, I have very fond and precious memories of Bill, Bob and I being such good friends enjoying good times together in our long ago younger years!
Occasionally over the years ,
I have run into Bill or Bob at the store and was happy to briefly catch up on a few things happening in our lives. Now, I will hold even closer in my heart to those special memories.
May God give you peace and comfort during this sad time and in the future.
Love,
Marshall Pauley
