Eileen, Kim and Karol, I just learned of Bill´s passing. I am so sorry we did not hear sooner so we could have attended services. I always enjoyed being around Bill, especially growing up. When I babysat you girls. He would always play his Hawaiian albums for me and taught me how to do the Hookila dance! I know he will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Thank you so much for sharing your memories Mike. My dad always made sure we had the most colorful and interesting garage door (and front door!) on the block.

My sincerest condolences to Bill's family. He was one of my favorite golfing buddies that played in "The Big Game" at "The Rock"!! One would be hard-pressed to find anyone at Kittyhawk who did not enjoy Bill Kama's presence!! He was so very well-liked by all who had the pleasure of knowing him!! On a personal note, when driving home and passing Bill's house with my two daughters, they always commented on the large K on his garage door!!
