I knew Bill from early teens on and he was always a lot of fun to be around. One memory I have which we spoke of often and still laugh about to this day was our monthly crd game in the 60-70s when bill opened his bag of BYO beer we rermarked how his baby must feel real good. Bill had a bag of baby food. Rest in peace old friend and good man.
