Bill Cummings was a fine man. I know this because I know a child he & Naomi raised; he served this country with dignity and honor; and was the beloved and devoted companion of his wife of many years. This tells me that he was a man of honor who loved and provided for his wife and children, and always wanted what was best for them. His loss will leave a void on this earth, but I believe his entrance into heaven will be celebrated by those who await him.
