APPLE CANYON LAKE–On Tuesday, Oct. 3rd, Heinz ketchup’s stock price fell sharply on the news of Bill Vincent’s passing.
There will be no viewing since his wife refuses to honor his request to have him standing in the corner of the room with a Michelob Ultra in his hand so that he would appear natural to visitors. Everyone who remembers him is asked to celebrate Bill’s celebration of a life very well lived at LeFevre Inn as an open house format on Sunday, Oct. 15 from 2-7 p.m. with fireworks at dark. Bill’s wishes include a beer on him, food from the Elks, and his favorite band, The Wundoes. Raising a glass of a favorite drink in his memory would be appropriate. more
