Diane, when I received your voice mail I knew it was bad news. A few weeks back, Bill and I thought we might get in a few rounds of golf, but it was not meant to be. The things that I will remember were Bill's stength and courage, never complaining about his fate. Also, his great smile and laugh. We had some laughs last time we visited. Every time we spoke, he was concerned about some of our other Prep classmates that were ill.
I know that down the road I will see Bill again and finally get that golf game in. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear John, Sid and family,
We were shocked to see Bill's notice in the paper.
Sixty nine is way to young to die. I called Neil Clark and he will notify Tom Piper. It is hard to believe when it is someone you remember so full of life.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of your family.
Jackie (Cramer) and John Gerard

Rest easy, Bill! It is an honor to be a son-in-law to you and Diane. Sorry that Bill struggled the last 9 months but he sure seemed to have had a lot of fun for 68 years. Thinking of you, DIane!
