    I loved spending time with my Dad and Larry and Bill playing cards. Larry will be playing cards in Heaven with them now and joking around. I’m sure everyone is welcome to play along when they get there. The more…the merrier! If anyone needs anything they will probably call the waitresses over by their names or put their coffee cups in the air.

    I didn’t know Bill personally and just saw him a year ago at my Aunt Betty’s birthday celebration…, but I have heard the many stories about him and can tell how beloved and treasured he was to friends and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and may he rest in eternal peace.
