Dear Edith and Family,  I will never forget Bill and his kindness to our family.  He took care of all our plumbing needs for many years.  We loved talking to him when he came to help us with our plumbing needs, especially when Edith came along.  A wonderful family.  
Gratefully, Mary Anne Hanley

My contact with Bill was many years ago through the Conestoga Jaycees.  I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to work with him in that capacity.  My deepest sympathy on his passing.
