I am so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. He was such a nice sweet man with a great heart. He always had a huge smile at Raley’s Store on Madison. AVE.
I got to know Bill at my Cooking cart along with his beautiful wife Dolly. I always was so delighted to see them, and trying my samples.
I felt over time, like they were family to me.
