Dear Robin

I was very good friends with your dad for many many years. We met in the Pekin hospital and he taught me sign language.  I remarried and moved away and we lost touch. Once in a while, we would run into each other in a grocery store and I was always so happy to see him.  Your father was the kindest and sweetest man I ever met.  We just lost touch, but I have thought so much about him over the years. Please give my sympathy and condolences to the rest of your family and loved ones.  I think I only met you one time Robin at your dad‘s house on fifth Street.  I am just heartbroken.  He lived a wonderful life and helped so many people.

RIP Bill.....you were always my friend and we shared and talked about bowling every time I seen you.  You will be missed and Robin accept my sincere condolences with your loss.  I pray the Lord has given him his due rest in peace.
