Dear Irene,
Sandi and I were very sad to learn of Bill's passing. We spent many happy hours with you and Bill at Lake Lawn, the dog track, and for me , the Bear games, Spring Grove Day, and the many years of enjoying Bill's friendship and more than a few laughs and cocktails together when his crew was at my place. His talent and his advice was very helpful to my business. I think the world of Bill, I will miss him dearly, and am sorry that we were not able to be with you at his his service. We love you and will look forward to seeing you soon.

Irene:
This is very sad news. I have very fond memories of our time with you and Bill at the NAIR conventions and my trip to the Bears game with Bill. I had such a wonderful time. I always think of the two of you when the Bears play the Packers, especially at Lambeau. I'm glad Bill made the trip to enjoy that game with me. Please take care and my thoughts and prayers are wirh you.
