Bill, brother it had been a few years since we had seen or talked to each other. I will always remember the good times you and Nerissa showed my family when we all were stationed in Hawaii together. It is hard to know that one of my brothers in gone. "Play like a Champion." If you know Bill you will know what that means. Good Bye my brother. I know that you will be watching over all of us from heaven.
