Not sure what to say?

Didn´t know that Bill passed in 2016 or that he lived in Portland, I remember Bill as a great wrestler, we wrestled together for two years he a as a junior and senior in the upper weight and J as a freshman and sophomore as the varsity 98 and 103 lb weight class I looked up to Bill and the other guy like Jimmy Siaz, Randy Hess, John Buck and San Johnson... great times with great guys...

Bill and I played football together and against each other when he played at butte and I was playing for Gavilan in 1970.....he was a tremendous teammate and person....and we enjoyed growing and playing together...

Bill was definitely more concerned with quality than quantity. I only spoke to him a few times, but each time was very memorable. His wisdom and sensitivity were amazing, and he definitely left the world much better (if sadder) than he found it.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We are very sorry for your loss.

With sympathy wishing you many peace filled memories 2nd Thessalonians 3:16 "Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace constantly in every way. May the Lord be with all of you."
