Condolences

Dera Pat And Coty, I was so sorry to hear about Bill passing.I had the pleasure of meeting Bill about fifteen years ago at Ore-Ida Foods. It was a pleasure working with him. He always made me look at handling issues and or problems in a different way. Every now and then he would treat me to some homemade fried potatoes, buscuits and gravy! I'll never forget that whenever I think about Bill. He was a good husband,stepfather,Pop Pop, and friend. God bless you all and I'll keep you in my prayers.
