I have alot of memories of being at the Jordans from the time I was 12 until 25.. They were always welcoming and made me feel at home. Every weekend they would be playing cards before the upstairs was built and I witnessed as a child that some families actually got along, when I was at Howards house. Once I had to call and wake Mr. Jordan up to come and move Howards car, as we had lost the keys. He was cool about coming out in the middle of the night and Did'nt give us any grief. I know Howard and Mike, both enjoyed a good joke and I believe they got their sense of humor from their dad..My thoughts are with you all..God Bless..

Linda,
I am so sorry for your family's loss. I will always remember Bill's smiley face from the bank drive-thru and him waving until I could walk back to say "Hi." If you need anything, I am at the Lawrence Branch now. Angel
