A special thank you to his Friday lunch group of friends. One highlight of his life was a trip to Alaska where he enjoyed fishing. He came from a time when people knew how to do things for themselves and make it if you needed it. He and Jane built their home almost exclusively on their own in 1972. Bill enjoyed returning to Kentucky to see family and friends. He worked hard his entire life and never gave up. My Mama and I always had what we needed.
