The family of the late Bill Bullied of Coleville held a yard sale on the weekend of May 28-30, when they sold Bill’s household belongings. Shortly before Bill passed away on March 11, 2021, he told his son Larry that he would give a million dollars to the Kerrobert Hospital if he won the lottery.
Although Bill did have a ticket, he didn’t win a million. His son Larry was in charge of his dad’s estate, which included a house jammed full of stuff, so the family decided to have a yard sale. Not only did they manage to get rid of everything, but they were able to raise $4,000 at their yard sale and presented the donation to the Kerrobert Hospital in memory of his dad.
Larry would like to give thanks to everyone who helped to make his Dad’s sale a success: Tommy & Dawn Kitchen, Joan & Bev Kitchen Estate, Betty Lou Schultz, Lynn Kuehn and Art Trace, Janet Bayford, Cory Bullied, Billy Gutenberg, Donnie & Carol Dillabough, LA Ranger Trucking (René Ranger), Clarence, and to everyone that contributed in some way. A special mention to the Legion for making Dad’s funeral something memorable.
“People were so generous and kept dropping off monetary donations,” Larry said. It may not have been a million-dollar donation, but Larry was confident his dad would have been pleased that $4,000 was given to the Kerrobert Hospital.
