To the Durst Family: the sadness of Bill&&single&&s passing has brought back wonderful memories of good friends and the gentle art of conversation. I recall when Rod was doing some work on your mom amd dad&&single&&s home on the hill, I went to give some messages to Rod and spent the afternoon sitting and listening to your dad and Rod talking about “everything”. I remember thinking at the time this is a lost art form and how I wished I had that ability and knowledge.Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers……Joyce
