When Billy was a teenager working for my father, John, Billy would nail my shoes to the floor so I couldn't move. He was always laughing.

My deepest condolences to Mr. Bill's family. He was the best Avon sale's person. We met at the nursing home when he would deliver orders and leave books. I'm going to miss him and his blue scooter.
