We are saddened about the news about Bill. He has been our friend for over 45 years, both on and off the golf course. We had many great games on the golf course and many more enjoyable times with him and Barb socially. Our prayers and thoughts are with Barb and the family today and we will be thinking of you all next Thursday evening.
