I only found out about Bill's passing a few days ago. I remember him, mostly, throughout our softball years and the times we spent along the fence lines talking softball. We were never teammates but I'm sure we played against each other at times. Perhaps now, if God lobs him a meatball, Bill will get a hit and Bill would be the first to laugh at that. One day I hope to be on his team.

I can only imagine the loss you must be experiencing right now. He always had something good to say and enjoyed life. One of the truly good guys. But have solace in the fact that all of his softball games will now be played in perfect conditions!
