Bill was a true friend. He would do anything for anyone if he could. I wish things could be different, but they can't and it saddens me deeply. I have so much remorse for you his family; especially Madelyn. Even though I only knew Bill for a short time he became closer to me than most any friend I have ever had. I will never forget Bill and I am sure no one else will forget him. He will hold a special place in my heart forever. My prayers are with you forever and always.
