Bill was an unusual high school basketball player. He wasn't tall or fast but, he was very quick shooting from outside with his unique one-armed set shot.

Bill was a great man. I met him through senior softball, one of the nicest men I ever met. He loved his family very much, and he and Connie were the perfect match. I am heart broken.
