    Anne,Tony,Ray and families , I am so sorry to hear of your father passing . I met you at the front desk when your mother was in the hospital . Mr Shick was so worried about her. He would stop and talk a while when he came in to see her . When we talked I ralized that I knew his father when I was a little girl. I would go with my mother to the loan company where Mr. Shick Sr. worked when she payed on their loan. Mr.Shick Jr.&Sr. both were good men...they loved their family. May God give you peace and comfort in the days ahead. I share your grief..I lost my mother 3yrs ago. God is the only one that can fill that void. May He strengthen and comfort you all . Linda Williams

    Dear Ann Ray & Tony, It was a privilege to get reacquainted with Bill in recent years. Indeed he was fine example of a kind gentleman, most notably traveling with him to San Francisco to visit Ray. He spoke about interesting retail stories, sales techniques, traveling from store to store in his white Cadillac with wings, verifying products from garment districts in the bigger cities. It’s terrific what a prolific landscape painter he became in retirement. I have fond memories tagging along with my mom and siblings for clothes. We loved playing with the tri-fold mirror images in the Neumode shop on the square. Also remember how we and other neighbor kids were awestruck by his gymnast physique when we knocked on the door. Then being pleasantly surprise by how welcoming both your parents were to see neighbor kids. Thinking of you all, many blessings, Adam
