I am so sorry that I hadn't heard of Bill's death until a friend tried to look him up at Christmas and discovered the obit.
Bill and I were very close for a number of years. I was the best man at his wedding in 1985.
So much we shared in both Fort Worth and north central New Mexico.
My condolences to the family.
