    Bill and Cheryl were a great example of Godly marriage to us all! Shared values was a course offered to all city of richfield employees and bill was “king” of gracious, kind, giving and being magnanimous! Cheryl was his queen and greatest cheerleader Bill will be dearly missed!

    Cheryl, I’m so, so sorry to hear of Bills passing. He was such
    a great man & a great friend & we were all lucky to work with
    him. Every time I called him after hours ( which was often), he would promptly respond with a smile on his face.
    My sincerest condolences….he will be greatly missed!
