Brenda, I just found out about Bill’s passing at lunch or I would have made it by there before the funeral this morning. I worked in the office at William Hayes Lines from May ’73 after Dad (Martin “Rag Man” Jenkins) died until the January ’82 closing (except for the 2 years while I was at MTSU/Murfreesboro Freight) and remember how you and Bill kept all those Texas Boot shipments moving out of that old warehouse on Forrest Avenue all those years ago. I did much of the routing as to which way all those shipments went to Louisville, Atlanta, Memphis, and Nashville. As many boxes of boots as we handled, I don’t recall ever paying a loss claim due to William Hayes Lines losing as much as one box of them. Some of our interline carriers weren’t so fortunate. Y’all had that system you used down to a science and we kept those boots moving. Bill (B.B.) was a joy to be around and a great worker. If you haven’t heard, there’s now a William Hayes Lines, Inc. page on Facebook and I’ll post the obituary to it tonight. You and the family are in my prayers during this difficult time. May God bless you.

Mrs Brenda I just learned of Mr Bill's passing last night when my mother and I visited Highland Heights and was heartbroken to hear he was gone. Prayers for strength and comfort now and in the days to come. Don't know if u remember me but I sat behind y'all when I would visit. I also got to see y'all at several of the yard sales and estate sales I do for people over the years. I love you and will continue to keep you in my prayers.
