We have lived next door to Bill and Sandie for over thirty years. In that time, we have enjoyed seeing our children play and learn from each other. We have also enjoyed Bill’s enthusiasm for life and his ability to focus on projects (for example, the recent Fibrowatt issue). Over these years we have known Bill as a trusted friend, honest, straightforward and a very caring person. We have enjoyed many conversations about a wide range of subjects, always very frank discussions with often differing opinions, but at the end – no hard feelings – only a gesture of appreciation of each other’s views.

We will always remember J.L.’s retirement and Bill and Sandie’s reaction – “We must have a party at our house to celebrate!” It was a wonderful affair with a large group of friends, neighbors and family present.

Bill has always been most helpful in sharing his vast knowledge of flowers, trees, shrubs, etc with Jane, and even helping with some of the plowing!

We couldn’t ask for better neighbors and extend best wishes to Bill in his retirement. We know that he will become even more active with many local and state projects. We look forward to seeing the positive results of his efforts, and spending more time with him.

J.L. and Jane Lowe
