So many memories created by a life well lived and enjoyed. Hate to think about how many decades it's been, but will always remember the hot summer days spent walking bean rows with George and his brothers. Sunflowers so thick you couldn't see the person a couple rows away, but didn't keep us from hiding George's water jug! We may have grown up, but you'll always be remembered as Georgie Bill! Our thoughts and prayers for the family.
