Love him dearly and can’t wait to see him greet me at the. gates when I get to my forever home. I believe he will be there with the rest of my loved ones. Prayers for Barbara and her family as they face this life without him ❤️❤️ He was a great example of how to treat others… Love you Pops.. until we meet again
Mr. Bill was an absolute jewel. I always enjoyed delivering flowers with him and hearing stories about architecture, sports, and local history. Always a gentleman, he was the yin to Barbara’s yang. I am so lucky and blessed to have had this man and his family in my life. He will be greatly missed.
Pop,
I will always love you and remember our rides on deliveries together. We’d stop at McDonalds and we’d both get burgers with no onions and fries. You’d say don’t say anything to the missus .
Whenever we were on the highway you’d say ,baby you got your phone,well time to look at it. That meant you were about to go across 4 lanes of traffic…
How I have missed our rides together,but now you are on the best ride ever! It’s not goodbye it’s I’ll see you later ♥️
♥️♥️♥️♥️
