Our sympathy at the passing of Bill. I hadn't seen him since the summer before last. I was at Kmart and he was there shopping---we visited and he bought my sister-in-law Janet and me lunch at the Kmart cafeteria!! We had a great visit catching up with Manvel news. I will never forget the times he came to Pine Lake. I heard some stories that make me laugh even today. May he rest in peace. Lynne and Davis Hoverson
