Like Betty, I'm another HS classmate of Bill's. Another "B" Sandy Breece so we sat near each other in class, too. I also remember my family and Bill's sitting together at football games. My condolences to all of Bill's family.

I worked with Bill many years ago at Sirloin Stockade and just heard the news today. My thoughts are with you and your family. He was a truly great guy and a wonderful boss. He had an incredible sense of humor and was truly one of the greatest people I have ever known. The world is a sadder, less joyful place without him.

Cathy, Dave and family. I was so sorry to hear about your loss. You all are in our prayers. It was such a tragedy we always seem to ask why and get no good answers. These things never make sense.
