ED I AM SO SORRY YOU LOST YOUR BROTHER YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE IN MY PRAYERS
I am so sorry and shocked to hear of Bill’s death. He and I “talked” a couple of years ago on facebook and he seemed very happy. It is so sad…he was too young just like his dad was when he passed away. I am praying for him and his family. Rest in peace old friend.
My prayers and thoughts go out to you. I know Bill as we are both instructors but for different schools. He was a good man and a joy to be around.
So sorry for your loss and ours!! Prayers going up for all of his family and friends. Sending my love to all of you!
Thoughts and Prayers are with you Betty Jean and your family-Mike
