I was a Bill "buddy" during high school years...and shared rides in his green Ford Falcon, which we tried to wear out cruising for girls, rabbit hunting around Midland and traveling the adjacent states during school holidays. In the 50+ later years, although geographically very far apart, we have shared fishing trips and brief family visits, proving that a bond with Bill was long lasting and brought priceless value to those who shared it. We'll be seeing you, Bill.

I will miss my bike buddy Bill! We would ride the bike next to each other @ LAF & tell stories to each other! He had a great smile and laugh!!! So sorry for your loss!

I will miss Bill's smile at the gym we both belonged to. If he saw me there on a weekday he would joke with me and say, "Working form home again today?" He was a super nice man and will be missed by his gym family. My deepest condolences to his family.
