My daddy Earl Lail went to school with Bill. Daddy also worked for Bill for 12 years. After Bill closed his business, he talked Earl into going into business for himself. They have been very close friends through the years. The past few years I have taken my parents to visit Bill and Pat and they would make a point to visit my parents as well. 

Bill and Pat have always been a blessing to my parents. I always enjoyed their visits. It was always laughter when the four of them where together. They would share and talk of old times! I remember during the years, my daddy would come home telling me that him and Bill talked a lot about their two Pam's, also about Janet and Jim. Bill and Pat loved to talk about their children and grandchildren.  I really will miss both of them! My daddy will miss Bill so much and their talks on the phone.  Don't be surprised if my daddy still tried to call Bill sometime. Just a habit and his Dementia. So very sorry for your loss of a great man that Bill was! Prayers for all the family!
Pam Huffman, Earl and Betty Jean Lail
