So many fond memories of times spent with Bill and Lois. Bill saw the humor in almost every situation and could always be relied on to tell a joke. More than his sense of humor though is that he was always willing to help anyone who needed it. He just quietly did what was required and many people benefited from knowing him. He will be missed. Much love and sympathy to his family.
