Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I knew Bill mainly through his daughter Sue when we were both in high school. Later I worked for Bill at Total Petroleum. With all of ‘us’ kids, he was like a big kid himself always joking and taking an interest in what we were doing and how we were doing. As a ‘boss’ his sense of humor and interest never failed. I was fortunate enough to see both Bill and Janet several years ago and still, his sense of humor, interest in others, and joy at being with family and friends was unending. He loved people. He loved life. He loved his family. I was blessed to have had his influence as a child, as an employee, and as an adult. Blessings and sympathy to all the ‘Nelson’ kids and grandkids.
