Well, Bill looks like a heck of a good police office his incredible smile, says it all. His spirt has been reassigned by "God" and is in Heaven. Make no mistake "God" is still in control of this world this is not's "God's" fault. But the evil that is among us and his name is Satan. I pray for Officer Hooser's wife and his children as well as all the police officers of the Santaquin Police Department. Office Hooser may you Rest in Peace. John 3:16
