a friendly,unselfish guy and a stellar athlete.I Will remember William for his unselfish play on the basketball team,a top rate defender and rebounder who played one entire season with a broken hand and never missed a game.

It is so hard to let someone go who means so much to so many people. Let memories warm your heart every time you are feeling a loss.
I grew up with William in the projects.
