    What a spectacular house. He was very beautiful soul, very talented some of the houses were very detailed in painting. I hope the town kept his house and turned it into a community hub for crafting or something. It would be sad if they removed it. People like Bill are the real America.

    such a heartbreaking story. You see people like this gentleman and wonder how they live, how do they do the basic needs of life?? Did he have a caregiver? I'm amazed he was able to mail you something Scott, one has to wonder how he made it to the post office. So sad. He could obviously get around a bit to turn on all the tinkle lights, get to the bathroom etc..
