I was just wondering if my friends here in Letterville heard what they did to me. It was all over Facebook.

Flowers for the living my dear, and that was one heck of a bouquet. Your kind heart, amazing spirit and brilliant talent deserves recognition. That ocean of white shirts with your face on them and your humility in the face of it is an inspiration to us all.

Tribute to Bill at Shipshewana Thanks to Chris Shuster for responding to my request to upload this on You Tube. Everyone should be able to access it now.

I wasn't even there and I had tears in my eyes watching it. Bill's worth his weight in Gold Leaf!

I actually had the privilege of working on the same wall with Bill at that meet, and somehow came away with even more admiration and respect for him than before.(didn't think that was possible.)
The Butlers made shirts for everyone to wear at the tribute, and I still wear mine pretty often. Almost every time I wear it someone will ask, "Who IS Bill Riedel?", and that allows me the opportunity to introduce them to this great man that I am honored to call my friend.
