Avis and family, Larry and I are so sorry to hear of Bill's passing.
We haven't seen you or Bill in years, but we think of you often.
How nice that Bill lived so long as to enjoy such a large family and grandchildren. Larry always thought so highly of Bill. He was a special friend and boss.

Truska Family, After working with Bill over 20 + years it was easy to pull up some great memories and events. Joan and I share in your sorrow. I'm 2 years younger and can see that down the road there will sometime soon, be an end to it. Fortunately, Bill was able to see your family expand and have the grandchildren get to know him.
