I will miss you for the rest of my days Bill. You could always make me laugh at the most unexpected times. I will miss our frequent texts about either music or sports or just something to make me smile. You were a good brother.

Bill was not only a “genuine” friend but also like a brother to me!!! I will always have the memories we shared on the softball fields or yelling at the Browns over the years with his family. I am sure our paths will cross again and hopefully that will be on a ball diamond. I am sure going to miss you, until then, GO BROWNS!
