Dear Bill, I will never forget your warm hospitality you bestowed to me every time I visited you and mom. I will miss our Margarita Happy hour - you made the best Margaritas. I will always remember our visits to the little Italian Restaurant with Bart...how much fun we had...I will miss you, Mom will miss you. You had a great time while here on earth....RIP....you were an amazing man..

I was fortunate to have played a lot of tennis with Bill at Rancho Las Palmas. He was a genuine "good guy".

RIP Bill.
