Janet and Ed, we are so sorry to hear about your brother/brother-in-law. I was watching for the info on the web and didn\’t see it. They didn\’t print the obits since the 10th. We would have been at the wake. So sorry we weren\’t there. We send you our deepest sympathy. Love from Bob and Linda
Linda and family, I extend my heartfelt sympathy. Bill was my boss when I worked summers during college (1978-1979) at the old American National Bank. Bill and I were the only males on the .teller line.; therefore, we shared many amusing moments in order to vent among some demanding co-workers. He was a gentle soul and I do remember his love of music. Whenever an .oldie. came over the Muzak, he would site the year and artist. I made a point to see him several times in the early 1980\’s at the bank whenever I was in the area. May you take comfort that he is at eternal peace and rest.
