November 16, 2011

I was lucky to know Bill for the last 12 plus years. He was a strong, caring, faithful, and fun man.
He always looked at the gentle side of life, and even when we talked about his time in the Navy submarine service, he was a humanitarian. We used to talk about the old cars and how you could tell a 53 Chevy from a 54. Bill knew all the different models too.
A graduate of Cass Tech in Detroit, we shared many stories about Michigan and what it was like 40 years ago.
I will miss Bill, but he will always have a warm place in my heart.
A great man, in my humble opinion.
