Not sure what to say?

Bill had as many different nicknames as he had dance partners. He lived life with a smile and a tender heart. He always had at least one dog and sometimes a cat or two.

He also had a serious side and it showed in the ways he took care of his loved ones. His compassionate nature played a large part in the way he helped suffering alcoholics. His devotions to the Central Group of AA and the San Marco Club. Bill spearheaded the renovations to the club which were done in the early 80's...

Bill was a great friend and delightful dancer. His friendly face will be missed.
