My family and I so sad and sorry when we heard about Bill's homegoing. My husband, David, and son Josh, knew him better than I did. I got to know Bill when he was on the CAO Board of Directors. He was always just so blessed kind to everyone, always took a minute to say hello and chat, and he was a true warrior for Lawrence County. It is a true loss for all of us, he was a good, good man. Love and prayers to his family, praying God just holds all of you real close and gives you comfort.
