Condolences to the Family

February 12, 2018

I know that I only met William once or twice but I would like to send my sincere sympthy to your family at this very difficult time. My name is Trudie Centini(Maiden Name Axe), I was Williams half Sister.  Have to say he looks like his Dad.  Through the years I have wondered about William and if he was happy.  My Sister Joy did try to reach out to him and I think he even went to see her once when she lived in Leola. I did let her know of this passing.
