Vaughn:

I was so sorry to hear of your dad's death. What I remember about Bill was his kindness. I never heard him raise his voice at anyone. He will be missed by everyone I am sure.

I remember James "Bill" Hanner since my early childhood. He always made me laugh and his laugh was one of a kind. When I heard he had passed, many, many fond memories flooded my head. I called an old neighborhood friend of Bill & Betty's, Bessie Barclay, and we spent almost an hour remembering the good old days on Brannen Road.

Bill, give Betty a Hug from us all.
