I’m so sad to hear of Bill’s passing. Sending my sincere condolences to his family. Bill and I are first cousins. His mom and my mom, Emma, Jean Ball were sisters. I remember visiting aunt Sadie and uncle Audrey when we were kids. Bill was always a lot of fun. I have pictures of Bill and his brothers from the 1950s. Rest in peace Bill, I will always remember you and your family. Janet (Phillips) Davis.
