I had a pretty long chat with you this past hunting season up behind the camp, I didn't get into the oaks, because I knew you or Leo might be there. Will see you someday again in the big happy hunting grounds. The world is in a different place now than when you left it. You will always in my thoughts especially when the fall season is upon us.

I have nothing but great memories of Frank's camp. I remember Billy on his first hunts carrying a 30/30 that was almost as big as he was. I also remember showing him how to gut out one of his first deer.The late night fun times and early morning risings bring back good memories ,too. Getting the squash to market was the main priority before the hunt could begin. I'll always remember Billy when I'm on the ridge behind the camp. Rest In Peace.

We loved making Bill his oatmeal and dry English or blueberry pancakes for breakfast at Jerry's! He was always nice to talk to .... a kind, free-spirited gentleman!

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Especially, Jennifer, Katherine, Sharon, and Susie. I grew up hunting and fishing with Billy and we had some great times together. He was a master Deer hunter and an honest, kind and honorable man. I always had a great deal of respect for Billy and my heart weighs heavy for all of you at this painful time. Peace and love. - Tom
