I´m sad to hear about the passing of Bill. I´m sharing some memories that I will cherish forever. I went to New Mexico with my Mom (Cheryl) and Bill back in 2010 and we had a blast, from sipping Margaritas to Walking all over New Mexico and me going to my 1st NASCAR race (2013) with him and my Mom. Never knew what the big deal was with NASCAR but it was fun seeing the race cars going around and round. Bill was such a great man. He would let me borrow his movies, he would get all the new movies on DVD, but one thing was I could only have 1 at a time lol. Bill will definitely be missed. I´m very sorry for your loss. I send my deepest condolences to the family. RIP Bill
