OBITUARY: Bill Love, 95, of Burnet dies June 12, 2014

He lived in Burnet all of his 95 years with the exception of 1941-1946, when he served in the U.S. Army and was stationed in England.
He married Glendine in 1942.
After the war, he returned to Burnet and owned and operated a cleaners and a men’s shop for many years. Later, he developed a subdivision, sold the lots and operated a water system until just a few years ago.
