I just read the obituary on Bill, whom I have known since his Montclair High School days.

He used to come into Bond's Ice Cream Parlor, where I worked while finishing college. When he became old enough to drink beer legally, we would have a few beers at Tierney's Tavern.

We became better friends when he was on the sales staff of The Hideout. And when he started working at Yesterdays, I became a customer.

During that young adulthood period, we persuaded Bill to play on our Cedar Grove fast-pitch softball team, and he became a star.

So, there is a lot of history between us.

Regrettably, I will be unable to make it for the viewing and service, because I live 370 miles north of you folks in Maine.
