Bill was a great friend who I always admired. His friendliness and sincerity were exemplary traits that made me look up to him. He was a good club member of the Dalmatian American Club and a great person to associate with. I will miss him, but will always remember him. My brother, John, worked with him on the docks and said he was a good man to work with - strong - happy go lucky and admired. John extends his sympathies to all the family as I do. Sincerely. Lou Malnar
