Apr 21, 2025My deepest sympathies to you Lil and your family. I worked a long time with Bill and we had a lot of good times. One of my fondest memories was watching your dog Scottie sitting in the window waiting for Bill to come home and Bill feeding him under the table. May your memories keep you smiling.
