My sincere condolences to Carole and family. Although it has been a long time since I've seen Bill and Carole, I was saddened to hear of his passing.
I remember spending time with Bill, his parents and my grandmother Clara, both around Belleville and also at the old clubhouses along the Kaskaskia River. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
