I am fondly reminiscing about the many good times I had with Billy on my front porch at Culver road and on his boat. Billy was incredibly generous with a heart as big as all out doors. When he was your friend, you had a true friend. Bill I know how passionate you were about the game of baseball, and how close to came to the pros before the motorcycle accident took you out of the game. I hope after your dip in the waters of life you are now on deck! God's richest blessings to your family and many friends.
