Rhobie, I am sorry to hear of you loss. May the Lord be with you and your family in the days to come. That He guide you to peace and hold you tenderly in the palm of His hand and give you comfort.

I am only one of many who so enjoyed Bill’s company on the golf course. While always a competitor, his gentle manner and warm smile will surely be missed by all. Goodbye my friend. Bob & Gayle Levine
