Mary Lois I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to you and yours.
It was with sadness we heard of Bill's passing. Several of our boy's thought so much of and enjoyed his wisdom.

Aunt Mary Lois, we were so sad to hear about Uncle Bill's passing.
We never realized all that he had achieved in his 78 year on earth.
Love Dianna, Wendell and Family
