So sorry for your loss. Bill and I were good friends when we both lived on Fort Douglas Utah in the 1960's. Being Military Brats we separated with the wind. I reconnected with Bill a couple of years ago and was privileged to have lunch with him when I was visiting the east coast. He was a great guy.

Bill was a member at our gym, Crunch Fitness... I remember every single day that I was working, or working out, he would take at least 10 minutes to ask me how my day was or how school was going, and my plans. They were little conversations, but they meant so much to me and many of the other employees. He was well known at our gym and is going to be missed, so very much. Thank you for being such a great friend. I am praying for your family..
