They' meant when Bill, his Mother and his Grandmother lived at 2423 Roosevelt Road. Sorry.

I send my sincere sympathy to Bill's family. Bill's Mother Marion Pabst Von Wald and my Dad Gene' Pugh we're friends for many years in Kenosha so I often saw Bill.

So many memories including the time he and his friends took a Thanksgiving Turkey to High School. This turkey was alive and ran all over St Joseph's with everyone including the Nuns in a mad scramble.

Earlier, Bill had a friend whose name was Eddie Utteck. When they lived on Roosevelt Road, Grandma Pabst asked what Eddie's name was. The boys told her he was, Sam Peterson' and never told her the truth.

May Bill Rest In Peace.
