Bill was my boss and mentor for many years at the Post. I always admired his spirit and cheerful outlook. I was looking forward to seeing him at the next Old Timers brunch. He offered to give my daughter a miniature goat before she learned her zoning would forbid it. But we both blessed him for the offer.

Sorry for your loss. Our days ebb away because of your fury; And our years come to an end like a whisper. The span of our life is 70 years, or 80 if one is especially strong. But they are filled with trouble and sorrow; They quickly pass by, and away we fly. Psalm 90:9,10
