I was so sorry to see that Bill passed away. I didn't know him for long. He hired me to do a little cooking for him. We hit it off right away. He reminded me so much of my dad who I lost in December. Boy could Bill tell stories and his family was certainly his pride and joy, especially his 2 grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Bill and I were great friends for over 55 years. MY Wife Rita and I introduced Bill and Marge which resulted in a long lasting love affair. We shared a lot of laughs and some tears over the years. It was difficult to keep up with his frequent relocations , but we did manage to visit them in most of their locations. In recent years are visits were mostly by phone.He loved his family and was very proud of his children,grandchildren,brothers,and sisters He talked about them often. I'll miss our calls,and will miss him all my remaining days.
