Dear Nancy, Karen, George and family,
I’m so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I have so many wonderful childhood memories with your family and he was always there standing proudly next to your beautiful Mother.
I remember him always in motion: gathering his clubs, mowing the yard, tending to the pool or the dogs or racing to get Trina off my father’s lap! (Nancy) He always chuckled at our dance skits and applauded with enthusiasm, for as much as he and my Dad ever displayed, when they were finally over!
He now joins the rest of our wonderful parents. Please accept my sincere condolences.
With love, Lisa Due Brock
