  2. I was so grateful to get to know Bill when he would come for his haircut as I was a stylist next to Nancy, so enjoyed their visits and many times got to join in the conversation with them. I didn’t know him as well as Nancy did, but knew he was such a good person to be around, Love Lynette Pascua
