Sue,
My family grew up in Short Hills with the Greiners. John was in my class at Glenwood School; Bill was his little brother. Both boys were always among the brightest and kindest of my friends. May was my Brownie Scout leader. If I remember correctly, she also loved birds. A wonderful family, all of them. Im sorry to learn of Bills passing.

Sue, I so fondly remember the classes and sports activities Bill and I shared from 7th Grade on. He was one of my first friends from outside Wyoming when we entered Junior High, and I always admired his combination of intelligence and warmth. So glad to read that he and I also shared a love of birds in our later lives. Across the miles from Washington State, I am thinking of you and your family.

We will always remember Bill's warm smile and infectious laugh. He was such an attentive listener who made you feel so valued. Although a brilliant man, he was always so modest and unassuming. We will miss this amazing friend very much.
