"Bill, what can I say, ever since I came to Baxter in 1982 as the local Telephone man, you befriended me. You always had that BIG BEAUTIFUL SMILE for everyone and a warm and sincere HELLO never a hi but always a HELLO. I could tell so many stories of us partying and fishing together and a Canadian fishing trip a bunch of us took that will never be forgotten. Bill with his soft spoken way and kindness always reminded me of Jimmy Stewart minus the stammer , thats just how Bill was. Once he befriended you , it was like a gift had been given and I was the receiver of that gift. So Bill , until we meet again on the flip side, know you are missed by many and were LOVED by ALL ....... All my Love and prayers go out to Sandy and the family ....... with my deepest regrets that I say Good bye dear friend ...Adios Amigo ................ Craig Talburt and Family"
