Bill Flood (center) was surrounded by his coworkers on his last day at Ace Hardware. Starting last year, Bill and Leah Flood of Kannapolis have had to reshape their life, as 54-year-old Bill was diagnosed with diastolic heart failure. Bill previously worked at an Ace Hardware in Cornelius for 14 years, where he amassed a community of loyal customers. Beyond work, Bill has been a dedicated supporter of local children’s sports, supporting teams while his own children and grandchildren have grown up. Hunter Flood, their son, started a GoFundMe to support his parent’s medical and living expenses, while the Floods adapt to the change in income and support Bill.
