Dear Judith and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. First met Bill when I went to work at Victor Weaver in 1984. He welcomed me and did everything he could to make me feel confortable. I so appreciated his warmth, humor, and sincerity. After the Weaver/Holly/Tyson mergers I stayed in touch with Bill even though we went in different directions, in the food business.
Bill will be in our prayers,
Dick and Mary White
