I remember Bill Jr. always being happy when he was working on one of those RC planes. Which he had crashed the day before out at South San Jose. He really enjoyed all those times flying those darn planes & I did enjoy seeing that smile on his face. Such a happy camper!! Great memories will never be forgotten...RIP Bill! U will be missed. xoxoxox
