We moved to Vandalia in 1988 and the Happy Apple orchard was soon a favorite place to visit for our four children. They loved to visit Mr. Happy Apple and when our three-year old went for his first visit and he got an apple for the drive back to town. Once we got home I discovered there was nothing left - Michael had eaten the WHOLE apple – core and all – and said it was yummy. That story is part of our family lore. We admired Bill's attention to detail and the beautiful fruit that he provided for his customers. He was kind and hard-working. I sent our children Mr. Happy Apple's obituary and they shared their warm memories. Our sympathy to you, Kathie, and the rest of the family. He was a wonderful man.
