We were best of friends back in the 1960s and even joined the USAF together under the Buddy Program. Bill was the best friend a person could ever have, we had many great adventures together that I still fondly remember. I lost track of Bill after 1984 and it was with much sadness that I just learned of his passing(11/22/2021). Anyone that would like to share memories can reach me at 419-722-9754
