It´s nearing a year and a half since my beloved friend Bill passed.
I was too upset to reconcile that I wouldn´t be able to see him, speak with him or laugh with him...ever again!
He was both a singular and `gentle force´ of nature.
He was smart, kind, loyal, funny, thoughtful, sweet, patient, at times snarky and always, always loving!
He adored his children, his wife, Marcia, his family and his friends.
I met him when I was a buyer at Jordan Marsh and he was with Trissi.
All three are since gone but my loving memories of him will live as long as I.
Bill, you are terribly missed and forever loved,
Much love,
Bonnie Fox
