Bill was just a fun guy for all the years I knew him. Kathy and Bill were a life long couple. My condolences to the whole family. I know how hard it is to lose someone so special.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Boss family. Bill was a great friend and athlete. We played football, baseball and basketball together. We will all miss him and his humor and infectious laugh. He is truly in a better place.
