I was shocked and saddened to learn of Bill's passing. We were good friends in Bedford before he moved to Perrysburg to attend high school. I am a bit puzzled by his last name of Kriston. I think he used to be Bill Bruggers. Anyway, I would like to extend my sincere condolences to his sister Marie and the rest of Bill's family.
