So sad to learn of Bill´s passing. He was always good for a laugh, to ask an interesting question or simply state his opinion and beloved friend to many. He had a great voice and pretty talented in the guitar too. He truly loved his family. We used to participate at karaoke at some of the same places. Godspeed my friend. You´ve been missed, honored and spoken about highly since we got the news. God speed
