I am sorry for the families loss. I remember working with Bill on our 30th high school reunion and can't help but believe that he would have been helping us with subsequent reunions if he had been able. I am out of town this week and won't be able to attend services.

Please accept Betty's and my sympathy for your loss. Bill was extremely helpful to me while I worked at the Courier Journal in the mid-1960's, and his work ethic was very infectious.
I fondly remember his 1965 GTO, and his love for the muscle cars of the era.
