Bill Newkirk was the man everyone wanted as a friend, and I was one of the lucky ones.
As a Friend, as a Boss, as a travelling Companion there was none better than Newkirk. He could make you laugh, he could make mad but most of all Newkirk could make you glad he was your friend.
Personally I can never say thanks enough, or probably in the right way
