Wyatt and Linda,
I will always remember shooting clay pigeons with Bill in Pocanos Mountains on a beautiful day. We had a ball that day and he was in rare form, talking a mile a minute and keeping me laughing and entertained all day. That is how I will remember him.

Melannee - I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing - I lost contact with you and Bill when I moved to LA in 2007 but have thought of you both often and wondered how he was doing. I have fond memories of my visits with him (and you) - you are in my prayers at this most difficult time.
