Harold Haskins, I didn't know my cousin Bill very well. I wish I would have. Makes you realize that time goes by too fast.

I was very sad to learn of Bill's passing. Although I did not have the privilege to meet him, I know he was a wonderful individual who had a loving family. May God bless him and each member of the Wright family during this very difficult time.

I was blessed to have Bill as my step father. He taught me to find the good in each person you meet. Bill was the kindest, most generous and forgiving man I know. Much love, until we meet again. Love Renee (Nene, your favorite duck !!)
