Dear Doreen, Mark, Bill, Kari, John and family, Bill was a part of the memories of my youth growing up in Pacifica, (even before it was Pacifica). Those were the years i was up to my elbows in grease, working on one of my old jalopy's. Those were the Mill Lord Car Club years. Bill was one of those amazing guys who actually knew how to work on a car, (what a concept), Later Bill became my brother in-law. You have great kids Bill.

Doreen, you and Egan have been in our prayers and we all will greatly miss him for all the fun times we had together at the races. The things he did and the stories he told will not be forgotten by any of my family. The bike in the tree, the electricial outlets at the Gold Cup are just a few of the good old times we shared.

We will never forget our trip to Sturgis and how Egan always got his food last. What a great time we all had, rain, wind and sunshine.
