Sad to learn recently of Bill’s passing in 2008. For about four years we played basketball five days a week at OSU My favorite memory is spending an entire day and night watching four games at the Far West Classic in Portland around 1985. In our conversations it was apparent that he was so happy to be a new father.

I met Maureen and a very young Zach only a couple of times but still want to offer belated condolences to them and Jordan for their loss.
