Bill, God Bless you and Lee.

Best wishes as you start this new chapter. As stated it was great that you brought someone else in to continue what you started before turning the page. Still an invite to ride in the dragline if you make it north! We've been enjoying climate change as of late. God bless.

Hi Bill and Lee, Please know that you've been a great source of warmth to my soul. I treasure each of our interactions and look forward to many more. You both are frequently in my thoughts.

Oh yeah, and the shocks are still working great!

Bill, sorry I never met you - kinda hard for a western guy to get back there.

I appreciate all you've done for the hobby, your posts, and interesting observations.

While I'm sure old cars are part of your life, I'm more concerned you have a good time with the folks you love!

Bill.Your health is most important,it's nice that you found another dedicated guy to take over the quality work that you put out to us Barners. Good luck and thank you! Ken

Bill
I meet you twice, I was just one of the many people that you were talking to a Hershey. But you took the time to explain what shocks I should be looking for and what items I needed. I kept your flyer for many years taken it from show to show looking for shocks. You did not know it but you were a great help. Best wishes
Ps I still use the flyer for identification
Thanks Jacob

Dearest Bill and Lee: When we met at the first Barner's Bash, you and Sweet Lee made such a strong impression as decent, down to earth, good folks, and you have both lived up to that impression over these years. Lee, although quiet by nature, has been right there beside you (and still is) as you built your business on trust, knowledge and reliability. You are a man of your word, and your legacy will live on, long after we are all gone to our heavenly reward. Margretha and I are blessed and honored to know you; we pray God's richest blessings upon you both, and want you to know that you are loved and admired, more than mere words can convey. Travel with the sure knowledge that our God is holding you both, gently.......

Thanks to both of you for picking up the torch years ago, carrying it forward, and passing it ahead to continue the preservation of our Ford's. We could not do it without dedicated guys like you.

Ray Balukas · 02-04-2016, 03:53 AM

Thanks Bill, God Bless!

Steve/IL · 02-04-2016, 10:43 AM

Bill,

Thank you for your contributions to help get our old Fords back in 'shockingly' good condition.

Henry/Kokomo · 02-05-2016, 09:16 AM

Best regards and many, many thanks for all you've done for the hobby in general and "Barners in particular. May God be with you.

Bill, We met briefly at Hershey a few years ago and I'm sure you don't remember but having a long friendship with Lou Trinque I'm sure you are the man we all expect you to be. Its great that you are passing such a lost art on for our community. As far as your health is concerned please message me as there is a hospital in my area who is doing great work for their ALMS patients. God speed and please give my Regards to Lou. Pete/Ct.

Bill & LEE, We sure had a lot of fun over the years, and Kathie and I will always cherish it. I hope you can get to the Bash this March, the "barner"guys would love to see you guys. I may try to get out to see you in the spring. Thinking of you Chuck S.
