The times we had as kids. Late teens through our mid 20s are forever etched in my mind. We all spent so much time together. I could write as much as an encyclopedia talking about the fun we had.and the things we did . Although our paths did not cross as we moved on in life, the memories we shared are as vivid as the day we made them.
I´m sure anyone that knows Bill feels the same way.
To Dave and family We are so sorry for your loss.


Rest Peacefully Bill
