My condolences to the Bahlman family. A good friend to the McCarthy family, he will be fondly remembered. I always like to remember images of people that define themselves.....my image of Bill Bahlman is of him sitting quietly in his living room, smoking his pipe and reading a good book.
Rest in Peace.
