I am sorry to hear of Bill's death. During our LSE years Bill and his family lived directly behind our house on 44th St. in Lincoln- we spent a lot of time walking to and from Southeast High. Bill was a good guy and I was glad to have him as a friend. Steve Vose, '63.

Our hearts are filled with sorrow. Bill will be missed by his family and numerous friends. Can't remember a time that he didn't greet everyone with a smile.
