I met Mr. Bill about 9 years ago. At Bill Wolfe's Auto. He had just sold the shop but would still come by every day. He has a great sense of humor and was a natural joke teller. You never knew what to expect from him. Mr. Bill or Bill he asked everyone to call him after 4-5 years had a lot of pride for people. When his 'granddaughter' came into his life & home you couldn't find a more proud grandfather. He would come by the shop almost every day to brag on how smart she was. He would say, 'Why, she is sharp as a tack.I want her to go to college and have an easier life than I did. I love that child.' Bill loved being a part of the Shriner Hillbilly Unit. He did it for the kids, he would say. I know he is with God now as he had asked for forgivness to anyone he hurt or made sad before he passed. He wanted his bible to go to his granddaughter Isabella. Go with Yahwah and be in peace.
