Mary DixonI worked with with Bill at Chrysler. He teased me, we never had a dull moment. I purchased a crib from you years ago, Rae. Time goes so fast, but I have very good memories about Bill and you, Rae.

Lori JanisRae, sorry for your loss. Bill was quite the character. I think of both of you often, even after all the years that have gone by. You two left an impression with me of what life should be, full of love and good times. I always looked forward to serving you at "Big Boy" restaraunt.
