We lost a huge part of our hearts this week. Our Store Manager, Mr. Bill Collins passed away on Monday (1/31/2022). He battled cancer for several years and he fought hard until the very end.
Mr. Bill loved this store, his coworkers, and most of all, his customers. He made sure that each customer knew that they were a part of his family. He took great pride in the fact that he was the “Mr. Fix it” of the Bayou View and Gulfport Community. His smile and love for people would light up this store. He left large shoes that will never be filled quite the way that Mr. Bill filled them. We all miss him terribly!
Mr. Bill made it no secret that he loved the Lord and we know that he received his healing from cancer. We have faith that he is now cancer free and with our Father in Heaven! He leaves behind the love of his life, his wife, Cherrie. In the coming days, please pray for her!
At Mr. Bill’s request, there will be no funeral services. We do have a memorial set up at the store. Feel free to stop by if you wish to pay your respects and/or leave a card or note of encouragement for Cherrie.
With Love,
Matt and Laura
A special Thank You to Sadie Jane's in Gulfport for helping make this memorial wreath so special and fitting!
