It is very sad that Mr. Bill Folk has passed away. He was a very kind person. I personally want to offer my sincere sympathy to the family, and a comforting scriptural hope there is for our love one who have died. 1Corinthians 15: 22-26.
Sorry to see your dad has gone. I remember him when I was a young kid down in the basement of the Hammond block then across from the police station. He always had that smile and a humorous comment. My sympathy to all take care Rob G reg Nicholls.
So sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. For awhile I played with him in Olga & Friends, a truly great accordionist! Our Condolences to all his family & friends.
