  12. I have many happy memories of you Bill. It was a pleasure working with and learning from you in the cattle trade. I regret not having you show me how to correctly butcher a lamb. Rest in peace mate, my thoughts are with those that were closest to you🤞 I wish there were more people in the world like you.
