    Barb, Brent, Audrey and families, we send our condolences to you with the untimely loss of such a special man. Bill demonstrated such professionalism and sincere concern for me and for the entire community over the past 40+ years of doing business with him. He was always like family and I just don’t have the words to express our sadness but I do pray that God gives you all the strength you need during this very difficult time. Galen and Candace Laird
