I am a loss for words, I met "peaches" a nickname he had when i met him in maine when I came back from playing basketball in mass. we played on a men's team in Brewer Maine, we were a small team but one of the best in our A division. Bill was a great guy so were my new teammate's and friends, nothing but the best was always given, he was a true leader. When he moved to Mass we spoke maybe 1 or 2 more times, his family was young but a beautiful family. I was thinking of him and looking at team pics of our team so I googled him to catch up, I am sorry to have the world loose such a great man! thanks for being you!!! Frank Jones
