So sorry for your loss! My deepest sympathies to his family and his sisters Kathy and Amber. My mother Edith Casaday still lives next door to Kathy but Bill, Kathy, Amber and I always played together as kids. I am happy to see he had a family and grandchildren to treasure! May y’all be comforted by the Lord’s peace, love and grace as you cherish memories of Bill. God bless.
