I'm sorry to hear about this shipmate. I served with him back in 1969 aboard the USS Cambria (APA36). He was a Signalman, and I was a Radioman.

I remember Bill from the composing room at the Eagle. One of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He was always inviting me to church and I actually went once or twice; then returned to my home church. He was a true inspiration.
