Hello. I don't know if William George Gartig is the boy I knew as a child. I lived in San Antonio and Houston and believe that it was in those days that I knew Bill. We were friends in high school. I was recently reminded of our childhood friendship and was wondering if this William Gartig could possibly be my friend from those days. Thoughts and opinions appreciated.

How sad for the world lose such a nice man.
He led a Christian Hebraic dance group in the late 70s which I was apart of.
I was about 14 at the time and I have to say it those dance classes and exhibitions are some of my fondest Memories as a teenager.
Thank you Bill for all those great memories.
May God Comfort your family during this difficult time.
