Bill Johnson was the best downhill skier I ever saw.

Bill Johnson hard to believe you have been gone five years already. May you be at peace in the hallowed halls of ski legends

A name is better than good oil,and the day of death then the day of one's being born. Bill certainly made a name for himself,the life he lived will be cherished by all whose lives he touched.
