Just saw this. Sherry I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Bill in the mid to late 70’s when he was still in the Navy. He was stationed on the same ship as my brother-in-law. He was always a happy and funny guy. He loved to dance, best dance partner I ever had. Had a lot of fun times together. I have tried looking him up over the years but couldn’t find. May he Rest In Peace.

Just saw this. Sherry I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Bill in the mid to late 70’s when he was in the Navy. He sure looks different from then. He served on the same ship as my brother-in-law. He was a great guy. Not sure if you will get this, but I am truly sorry to see this. Had tried looking him up for years. May he Rest In Peace.
