Bill was like my second father growing up. He always took me along fishing and turtling. I think I spent more time at their house than my own. We also spent lots of weekends at the cottage in Erie. He taught me more than he ever realized and I love him like a father.

This picture was a fishing day at Hereford Manor probably 50 years ago. We lost a great man, father, and s soul. I know I feel a deep loss and a hole that will not easily be filled!!
