The stories this man could tell...and did! The world is at a loss without him. Who knows how long the Christmas tree will stay up now!? I hope this loss brings you all closer than ever and even though there's a loss that y'all don't lose sight of the future your family can have. He truly lived and would want you all to do the same until the glorious day that you can meet again. Live, love, and laugh!

Our prayers are with the family of Bill Jenkins. I knew Bill for over 45 years. Bill was a good friend before i hired him as my first heavy equipment operator. Bill was the kind of person that his word was his bond, if he told u something you
could take it to the bank. We were just talking about Bill the other night while we were watching a bluegrass show on tv . We will miss him.
