I was looking online at the KC Star and just happened upon William's obituary. God must have led me to read about William. I saw that he passed away so young and as I read about him, I realized that I used to teach with his sister, Carolee at WARD H.S. My condolences go out to William's family. May you keep his memory forever vivid in your minds and forever close to your heart. God bless you during this painful time.
