Dear Hopper family, Sorry this is so late, but just found this. Kind of out of touch down here in FL. I haven't seen Bill since the early 70's, but he was a close friend of both myself and Ken Kraus, and we had many fine and fun times together. He was always a very kind man, and could tell the best stories. I remember he was so proud of his "casa de la rana". I shall miss him very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to you in your grief. I am sure he is in a better place and will be waiting for all of you. God bless and take care...
