Tara, Dave & family, Sharlet, and Todd - Our deepest condolences to you all on your Dad/Husband's passing. Although we didn't know him well, we certainly enjoyed gatherings with him at Tara and Dave's house and know he was a wonderful man - always so very pleasant and easy to talk to. As you prepare for his service this weekend, may your wonderful memories bring you comfort always.

So sorry to hear of Bill's death. I worked with Bill at Grinnell Mutual for many years. He had such a great sense of humor and was dedicated to his job (had awesome penmanship too!). Talked about his family often, so we knew he was proud of them! May he rest in peace.
