I am so sorry to hear of Bill's death. As first cousins we grew up often spending time during summer vacations and holidays at Crossett with Bill and Nancy while staying at Grandmother's house just down the street. Didn't see him much as we went separate ways as adults. Bill was a joy then and am sure that he continued to be in later life. I know that he will be missed by everyone who knew him.
