I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Bill was one of those people who you always believe is just indestructible. He and Loretta were the best neighbors we
ever had. They helped a young married couple, who didn't know how to do any thing, to hang wallpaper, to literally jack up part of a concrete driveway and pour concrete by hand on a carport. They were exceptional people and gave real meaning to the commandment "love thy neighbor". We thought of them and
the kids as family. Chris and I are so sorry for your loss of two
truly wonderful parents and two of the best friends we ever had.
With our Love, Jack and Chris McClung.
