So very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. Always enjoyed chatting with him at Jr Lakers and the post office. God bless you all!!
So sad to see this news about Bill 💔, my husband Wayne and I had the pleasure of working with Bill at the Elmira post office years ago . My sincerest condolences to the family at this time.
Bill was Postmaster in Elmira NY when I worked there in the 90s. I even played in a golf Tournament with him. He borrowed my driver and liked it so much he bought it front me! I imagine he hit it better than I did! They play golf in heaven every day, but I am not ready to go when the starter calls me to the tee! RIP, Bill, and may your ball always land in the fairway.
So sorry to hear about Bill. He was my Postmaster in Elmira also. My condolences to you Rhonda. He was a very good man. RIP
Rhonda so sorry to hear about Bills passing. My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.
