We sure had fun when we were younger and all palled around together. He was best man at my first wedding. My ex and Bill went in service together, and served in the 82 nd airborne division. We all worked at Woodstock Die Casting. RIP

For the Grammer family. Bill was a true friend to all of us. My 2 brothers (Lowell and Lyle munson) and Bill were together all the time, teenage on. They had many "adventures" together. He was like part of our family. All growing up together and having families, remaining friends. Pinochle playing, camping with all the kids, graduations, weddings, etc. So very sorry for your loss. God be with you during this time and in days to come. Dorie (Munson)Bauman and Jerry

To Bill's family
He was a great guy. He and my ex went in the service together. We shared a lot of good times, before, during and after getting back home. I remember how thrilled he was with his little girls. May your many memories comfort you. God Bless Loni and Jerry Henning
