Pat and family our sincere sympathy in the passing of Bill. So sorry but not able to attend calling hours. I was so glad I got to see him just for a moment at the survivor dinner in Mansfield. Which I looked forward to seeing you both each year. The picture certainly of Bill was the way I remember him with that smile. Our prayers are with you all.
