Dear Rauth Family, my deepest condolences to you all. Bill with the best father and grandfather that you could all ask for. We all had some great times at the state fair etc. take comfort in the fact that he’s wrapped in the arms of his Lord, and reunited with his lovely wife Joyce. My prayers, hugs and thoughts are with you all today. Julie, Ann & I are gifting a tree, to be planted in his honor. Hopefully, the Coyle boys don’t mind planting it, while you are enjoying your trip! Love Janelle
