I was classmate & fellow basketball teammate of Bill's in high school and at GSU. Have not seen him at any reunions, but always have fond memories of him. He was always smiling and well liked, an all around good guy. I will keep him and his family in my prayers.

Susan, I am sorry to read of Bill's death. You two were so in love in 1968, when you, me and Susan McLean shared a room at West Georgia College. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Donna Helton Cargle
