It was such a shock for me when I received the news of Bill passing.
He was such a great friend growing up in the New Bethlehem area.
So many great memories through school, football, golf and I even met
up with him when the Naval Academy came to Jacksonville, Florida.
He always kept in touch and we will miss his cards and emails we would
send back and forth. Again so very sorry, it was so much fun growing up
with him and the gang back home.
