Dear Elaine and the Luyten family
We were very surprised to hear of Bills illness and passing. Sometimes in life we take for granted that time will not change things. Not seeing Bill on Line 6 will be one of those things He was a hard worker and loved farming his land. Rest in eternal peace Bill…a rest well earned
