I considered Bill a very dear friend. I worked at The Renaissance for 30 years & knew both Bill & Billie. We became great friends Bill was fun, we had a blast dressing the same for Halloween! New years was a fun time to his daughter Regina was usually in town to celebrate with her dad. Bill loved his children!! Bill was my protector too. an amazing man. We of course remained friends even after I retired & he moved. I'm so thankful for the great memories. He reminds me a lot of my own Dad who I very much miss. Hold tight smile & laugh remembering all the great times! Rest in peace Bill.
