"Billy" and I played together when he lived on Stanley St in Mishawaka, we were back door neighbors. All of us neighborhood boys enjoyed when the walnuts fell . It was our "job" to throw the nuts in their husks up on the roof so the husks could dry.

My deepest condolences to Bill's family. I worked for Bill as a Training Instructor from 1979 until 1999 at the San Francisco Training Center. I have many great memories with Bill my trips to Montvale and of course to Germany. Bill was a fantastic boss and cared about his employees.
Best to all,
