Chancy, We were deeply saddened to learn of Bill's untimely passing just this evening. Please accept our heartfelt condolences on your loss. As president of the RRF Property Owners Association, Bill was one of the first to welcome us into the community in Wilkes Co. To think we will never again see him manning the BBQ grill or dragging the roads on the tractor brings tears to our eyes. I'm sorry we never actually got to move in next door to you two in NC. You were one of the warmest, nicest couples we have ever met & we will remember Bill fondly forever. Godspeed, Billy!
